Amazon isn't the only one experimenting with drone delivery.
A man in South Carolina escaped from a maximum-security prison after wire cutters were delivered to him -- apparently by drone,Watch Exotic Forbidden Pleasures Online according to officials.
Jimmy Causey, who was convicted for kidnapping in 2004, used a smuggled cell phone to arrange delivery of wire cutters via drone, the Associated Press reported. Then, he cut through four fences and left a dummy in his bed to trick guards.

“They have to land for you to get the contraband off of them,” Tamez said. “They can’t drop it like a bomb.”
Prisons have started installing netting to prevent people from throwing contraband over high fences, but that tactic can't stop drones.

Causey, sentenced to life in prison 13 years ago, had escaped from prison once before in 2005. Without drone technology, he and another inmate at the time hid in a garbage truck leaving the prison.
