I live in Arizona and saw this story on local tv, complete with a demonstration of the drone. Feel better?

Homeland Security Officials Consider Drone Patrols Over Border

Excerpt:

Unmanned drone aircraft have worked well in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now the Homeland Security Department is thinking about using them along the U.S.-Mexican border.

The drones could be used to track drug smugglers, illegal immigrants and terrorists. Arizona's congressional delegation is in favor of them, along with Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge.

Yeah, and maybe I won't get wet if I stand under Niagra Falls holding an umbrella.

We don't need drones to tell us they're coming across the borders. WE ALREADY KNOW THAT!!

Drones won't help a bit unless someone ACTS on that information.
