There is a greater threat to this nation from illegals crossing from Mexcio than from Mexican missles.

The Pentagon has awarded Lockheed Martin Corp. a $US40 million ($58.95 million) contract to develop a high-flying, remote-controlled blimp that would monitor US borders...Without enforcing immigration laws, the Pentagon may as well toss paper-airplanes into the air to do this job.

Not commenting on the actual story/technology

How about 'US to deploy trained frogs to study UFO's'.
