Flying the illegal alien trails

I forgot to mention that the UAV video will be streaming live on the Internet as the deal goes down.

[JackelopeBreeder]

Ping!

[texgal]

Wow, what do we need to do to get you guys to work over here in Texas?

[Geezerette]

Awesome!!!! Gives us hope here in the Southwest!

It sounds good. ABP has made great progress. I just hope there will be enough Border Patrol people to back it up because I think they are going to be very busy.

[JackelopeBreeder]

That's the flip side. If the UAV video doesn't show them being rounded up, it will show that they got away and somebody will have some 'splaining to do...

[WorkingClassFilth]

You guys are unbelievably cool! Americans doing things for themselves and because it is the right thing to do - imagine that!

[LasVegasMac]

Now imagine what will happen when this particular news item comes out on CNN.

Our government will be chagrined yet again – and pissed at being one-upped by ABP yet again.

The Mexican government will be enraged – this will really interfere with shipping excess population (and drugs) north, and will cut into the flow of yanqui dollars going south.

The open borders bozos will be shocked, horrified, and shrieking like banshees.

I plan to enjoy that last part.

My enjoyment would be seeing the UAV firing 2.75" FAR's and just heard the critters back south, from whence they came.

Watching the reaction of CNN and the the Mexican government to that would be ---- priceless.

I was able to watch the video being sent by ABP today.... very good. The fact that a border watchdog organization can get this sort of technology together and working so quickly is something else. Compare that to the Tom Ridge buffoon brigade and the fact that 9/11 was in 2001, and now it's 2003 and the idiots have completely ignored these sieve-like borders. Somebody needs to be removed from office... and you can guess at just who that might be. If you don't, just ask Helen Thomas.

[RLK]

Nice innovations in detection. Now, does anyone here seriously thing anything will be done about the invasion?

[JackelopeBreeder]

Maybe or maybe not. However, with the amount of embarassment ABP can generate, a lot of politicians and bureaucrats better start growing very thick skins.

[SandRat]

CHA-CHING! I can hear Aztlanians Screaming Now. It's so sweet a sound. </...not allowed

[junta]

Can you pick up mule deer or javelina with it as well?

Now that is the American way! If you got a problem, make something to fix it I love it! I would also love to get some technical information on the ground sensor equipment for some friends in Hebron. It would be dang handy to know they are coming before they start cutting holes in the fence.

There are large open valleys between most Arab villages and Jewish ones. Everybody builds on the hilltops. Your technology could save many lives!

Better to head them off with a searchlight across the valley than have a shootout up close. I don't think the UAV would be necessary in a fixed defensive position, it might be darn cheap life insurance.

[JackelopeBreeder]

You could if you recalibrated. The sensors are currently calibrated to ignore anything except human.

[JackelopeBreeder]

The Israelis have a great sensor industry of their own and also pioneered the current generation of UAVs. The US Army's Hunter UAV was a joint US-Israeli project.

[HiJinx]

Yup. And if the sensors really are as accurate as my FRiend Jackelope Breeder claims them to be, you'll be able to sex the species and determine the Boone & Crockett score if it's a male...

[LNewman]

This is AWEsome, JB!

MORE Power to All Y'all!!!!

And did I mention I was in AZ ... and seriously tourist-footin' it in late May when I found myself at Meteor City? The day I was there, there was a guy yelling over the Interstate fence trying to get our attention. The proprietor of the "City" told us that the guy belonged to the (non-descript) tractor trailer on the exit ramp that had run out of diesel.

What's up with that? ;)

[junta]

Don't get me wrong I'm not a poacher, but my question was a roundabout way of seeing what level of technology you were using. If I'm right they could alter their footstep pattern and evade your system but then spend the rest of their lives in the desert slow footing when speed is important.
