Well...Robot planes flying in the Great Lakes as well as the Rio Grande...
Edited on Sun Jun-27-04 01:06 AM by BiggJawn
Saw an article(with photo of the bird) in today's garbage wrapper. The INS is getting pilotless drones to patrol the US-Mexican border to do something about "the terrible illegal immigrant problem". They're also gonna deploy some of these birds in the Great Lakes region (we have a TERRIBLE problem with illegal Canadiens swimming L. Superior, I guess)

These little puppies have avionics on board that can spot a person at 15 MILES. They fly at 15,000 feet at about 100 MPH, so good luck hearing them coming while you're trying to sneak into Ontario...

Yeah, they're not fooling me, they don't give a shit how many "illegals" come north (Jebbie and AHH-Nuld need cheap domestics) what they're worried about is how many of us are gonna try to sneak out and take our cannon-fodder-eligible kids with us.

Oh, did I mention the article stated these drones are the same ones our good buddy Sharon uses to patrol the West Bank? Wonder if they can be armed like Predators?

2. Yep....
Or drop a "Robo-Cop" on us to do the job.

Nawwwww...."Preciscion Guided Munitions" is more like it.
Anyway, that little news flash totally wrecked my plans for the future, I'll tell you that much.
