I have to wonder where the technology is currently at. This seems like a rather dated style of espionage to attempt.

You hear about nanotechnology eventually getting to the point where our government could eventually create spy “insects”. When it gets to that point big brother or the Chinese or whoever could conceivably have eyes and ears everywhere. Spy ballon seems like childs play by comparison, even if the tech isn’t there yet.

That said, either shoot it the [BLEEP] down or bring it down, reprogram it and send it back.
