So Guys if we manage to capture Blindspot, do we experiment on him or turn him over to Sam Lane as a "not a bribe" and have him like us to drive Lois insane?
I mean, my impression is that Blindspot's secret is some kind of tech. He's not interesting to experiment on, and handing him over as "we found an invisible guy, we strongly suspect he's involved in the attack on Lois Lane" would work.
The only problem is that you wouldn't be able to prove it in court, I think... nobody got a good look at the invisible man while he was attacking Lois, did they?
If we know that Kriptonite gives cancer, why should we sell the batteries to Keystone Motors? That seems like an unnecessary risk.
We don't know whether kryptonite causes cancer and
@King crimson isn't telling us. We did massively expose some prisoners to huge amounts of kryptonite to see if it gave them cancer
quickly, but holding captives in a secret dungeon in your basement is risky so we had to terminate the experiment (and the prisoners) within, like, a few weeks or months.
The known risks from kryptonite are basically limited to "touching it can give you nasty sunburn," with the caveat that the sunburn can escalate into skin cancer in principle. You wouldn't want to inhale or ingest it because if it's inside your body it'll do the same things to the inside of your lungs or digestive tract- emit electrons energetic enough to ionize atoms, but too low to be direct products of a nuclear reaction.
But at the same time, there are a
shitload of things we routinely use in industry and in commercial goods that would be carcinogenic or otherwise toxic if you ate them or ground them up and inhaled them. It's not necessarily an obstacle. The real question is whether there's some other kind of radiation associated with kryptonite, and what it does to people. Tracking down the Kryptonite Man would probably help with that.

Also, cards on table, this is a comic book universe and people appear to be more tolerant of the idea that there can be weird chemicals around that in a freak accident could cause unusual forms of harm.

Instead of developing Spy Drones, could we develop Police Drones and have a hidden backdoor allowing us access to use them as Spy Drones?
We may want to send spy drones to places the police cannot go. For example, we might want to dispatch swarms of spy drones into the Arctic to find Intergang's remaining bases, or use them to tail a person from city to city.
Police forces operate in specific, limited jurisdictions and the actions of any drones they operate will be subject to bureaucratic oversight. They won't be a reliable asset that serves our purposes all the time.
I don't mean combat robots, I mean flying meter maids.
I think what it comes down to is that we totally could develop drones that would help the police, and we totally could install backdoors into them, but we haven't done the groundwork to make that possible in the short term. And as I point out, they wouldn't be a good substitute for having our own spy drone fleet.
Guys do not sell the batteries just yet we still do not know for certain if kryptonite is truly safe or not.
That's a fair point. We
THINK kryptonite is safe, but we're not sure.
