Transformers and that cyborg surveillance insect

Reading this piece from EE Times totally reminded me of the movie Transformers. An insect cyborg with embedded microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) to run controlled reconnaissance missions in a remote, with sensors connected to security cameras, wireless transceivers, micro-flapping wings, all attached to the insect-body. Errr...can the insect turn into a radio, if it's a crawling insect? Ha! Sorry..too much Transformers. :P

But will the issue of privacy come into play in a cyborg insect? I cannot imagine an insect buzzing around me one day and it turn out to be a surveillance insect. So scary! Intrusion!
