> Bielat's ground robots, which are designed for law enforcement, aren't designed to be used for lethal purposes. But that doesn't stop them from being used that way. I think this is exactly why companies like Apple are afraid of working with the gov - you just don't know how the gov will behave with what you give them once it's in their hands.

Whereas, when criminals use what you give them, few people will blame you. It's actually slightly strange.

    No, it's strange to hold companies selling to the government to a higher standard than companies selling to the public.

      Doesn't seem that strange, with great power comes great responsibility
