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.

WTF? I thought Ted Kennedy and Rosanne already had comfortable jobs. Well, my hat's off to 'em and I appreciate their service to the country.

Been there done that, will they just let these things die?

This is an obvious make work big bucks payoff for some one or some entity. So our tax dollars float away again.

Blimps Up, Foes Down

Not commenting on the actual story/technology

but thats the dumbest headline I can imagine.

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

We've already had this blimp hard at work in the Yuma area for years. It flies tethered at The US Army Yuma Proving Grounds 20 miles out of Yuma. You can see it flying high in the air 30 miles away or more.

The borders around here are infamous for smugglers using light aircraft to bring in passengers and drugs, landing in secluded desert dirt airstrips.

Don't worry the info is passed to all the local Feds.
