Predator drone, seen through the eyes of a drunk with double vision?

Well, it says Amazon Prime Air right on it.

It's Amazon's drone prototype for promised air delivery of packages in under 30 minutes (for those that just can't wait until the next day).

It's supposed to be able to cary up to 5 or so pounds at a time.

Probably a great way to deliver reefer in Colorado, too.

The swoosh is there, in gold.

5 pounds of weed might just be enough to make hijacking attractive.

Well now, that depends on just exactly what "it" is.

This particular "it" is Amazon Shows Off New Prime Air Drone With Hybrid Design.

I don't see 'cheaper' mentioned....I also have stuff delivered to my door now, am I supposed to walk out in the parking lot with this...?? Standing around in the hot sun waiting for a machine, doesn't sound viable to me....I would rather take the Mustang for a quick trip to pick it up....Yeeeeeehaaaaww

You'd better be careful. Getting caught with 5 pounds of weed while driving recklessly would not be a good thing.

Naw, a pair of hair dryers would be better. Its better to be twice blown, not just once.

Made a bit easier to guess by pictures of the drone in national newspapers today.
