Robotic pigeons in your future fiction

Need a fresh idea for a future-based thriller? How about this one?: A cadre of secret agents employ new robotically controlled pigeons to get the edge on their nemeses. It could happen in our future...we've got little remote-controlled model airplanes doing the spying -- why not pigeons?

How you say? Check out this post. It's not far-fetched that we'll control the flight path of the homing pigeon with implants. Just a ways out into the future...so latch on to it.

Write it up somebody. I just saw the movie "Breach" about that nasty spy Robert Hanssen. You could write a story where the pigeon is accused of being a double agent. "Is that pigeon somehow disabling our flight instructions?" the one spy will ask the other.

Intrigue indeed.
