If everybody has Google Glass on their heads, is there a difference between whether it's a drone buzzing above our heads and whether it's face-mounted cameras?

Mobile phones are already used as spy devices -- do you really think the camera and microphone are off? How do you know?

Most people plainly place their phones on tables after sitting, but would it be so shocking for them to carry a tape recorder everywhere?

Uh, that's exactly my point. We are surrounded by devices that can be and sometimes are abused for this kind of surveillance. We've judged them useful enough that it warrants using existing systems to deal with abusers, even while acknowledging that many of them can be used so surreptitiously that we're not going to catch everyone who is abusing them. Drones have so many uses I would say they fall in that same category.
