The story mentions that Law enforcement wanted to use Satellite surveillance, but congress overruled and said that would be like the Military acting as Police within our borders. Soluition? Give military tech to the Border patrol agency, run by the Air Force, and loan it out to local LEA on a needs basis.


interesting.

"Tin Foil!!"

I read about this, oh, about 6 months ago. Anyone who feels we are aren't living in a police state has a drug problem.

I was aware of them over the border, I was not aware of them operating on the interior.

State police and many larger cities use planes and choppers now. I don't see the difference. Not to say I'd approve of using predators for speed control!

Oh well, it apparently works. At least the governemnt doesn't put cameras up along the roadways to watch our ever move in transit... oh wait....damnit!

Just take a few minutes and try to imagine what the Govt. can do with all the modern technology and how they can use it against the American people. Then, try to imagine "star wars" technology that the American people are not aware exists and how that stuff could be used against the American people.

There are more things going on in America to the detriment of its citizens than any of us can imagine.

Also think about the fact that the administration has given to our enemies some of our most secret stealth aircraft, i.e., the helicopter used in the OBL raid and the ultra secret drone we gave to Iran.

I watched on "How it's made" the making of aluminum foil and really is made out of aluminum sheets that are roll pressed thinner and thinner until it is foil sized. Really interesting to see that.

I bet there would be a market for "steel foil", "copper foil", "stainless steel foil", etc.

 

[LACamper]

Lead foil? That way their xray vision won't work!
