There are ways to forge the signature.
And there are ways to change it to something unknown.
A two-bit terror operation will not currently do this, but a state actor can easily hide their tracks. And nothing prevents a state actor from supplying a "special" device to a terror group.
M.A.S.K. was fun but absurd in so many ways.
I despised the kid and even dumber bot.
In the field in actual battle conditions , lasers have been shown to be effective rioting terrorist weapons against cops
I want one for my Jeep
They aren’t able to steal everything, and some of what they steal is not actually genuine. That’s why they have such a difficult time reverse engineering what they steal, like stealth technology they cannot make it work nearly as well as ours because the secret stuff that really makes our stealth tech extraordinary is compartmented and most likely the files about that stuff have never been exposed to the internet and very few people have actual knowledge of it because the info is so tightly compartmented.
It was the Air Borne Laser (ABL) it is mentioned in the article.
Shall not be infringed :)

Piss Us off and See
What Happens.
sometime in the early 2000’s, I read a story about a tank mounted laser. It looked like a searchlight was mounted on the turret of a M1A1. They lit off a 155 about 23 miles away. This thing tracked and shot down the projectile, IN FLIGHT. It did it 3 times in a row.
Then the article and all references to it just disappeared.
Moreover, there was no nuclear war even when the US and Russia had only a relative few such weapons and there was no MAD doctrine. Major powers simply built up larger conventional forces. Again, the advantage goes to the US.
I remember somebody goofed back in the 1970s or 80s and released a picture of a vehicle-mounted laser and some major news publication ran it. Can’t find that now, either.
Agree! Would be great for duck and goose hunting, as they fall from the sky already cooked! ;-)
It will help a lot, if they can get the cost down. Nobody wants to lose a cutting-edge, high-dollar weapon system, to a swarm of cheap, 'dumb' weapons. That's the same threat the Navy faces, every time they deploy a CVN in the Persian Gulf...
Iran professes to not share those assumptions and claims to seek an Armageddon that destroys all.
I’d love to take the EM-50 on a trip to Portland.
The Israelis are developing laser for incoming projectiles.
It seems a low powered version might be handy for riot control. A little hole the size of a pencil lead in the shoe might change their plans.
Me too! (Snicker, snicker
Yes, but will Commander Straker let us borrow it?
And do you have to have blue hair to use it?
That was a GREAT show.
IU think it is on one of the retro networks like Ovation or H&I.
