Some info here that verifies your earlier post.

This stuff is spooky enough to make me believe that guy's book several years ago that said our post WWII technology is really all from Roswell with the gov't parceling it out at intervals by using technology companies as supposed developers.

Having been a teacher for 25 plus years I can't say that I've witnessed the kind of science and math education that produces results like these.

Short of smallpox and a Russian nuclear attack, is there any force on the planet that could stand against the U.S. Armed Forces?

Good article

Now Osama knows how to defend himself against this technology =) oops

I still don't think he'll be able to get away.

Mmmmmm.....sensors.

Their precision is spooky, but Afghanistan is a big country. Where's Eric Rudolph?

Well we may have had 4 major cutbacks to military bases starting in 1989,
and a 5th one approved by Congress this Sept (after 9/11)
but at least along along we have been buying all the right high tech gear.

And people think that this technology won't be used on innocent Americans.....Ha!

I wonder if these devices would work on the RAT underground.

[blondee123]

How is bin Laden moving electricity and supplies from cave to cave? I can see how he might have been living in some well equipped cave but if he's moving around, he must be living more and more primitively.

The devices were described by government officials and scientists who spoke on the condition of anonymity because many aspects of the technologies are classified.

Funny seeing this article - I know someone who works for Recon/Optical in Barrington. They have a web page where you can see some sample outputs of their airborne cameras - of course, those images are (I am told) not exactly the finest their cameras can produce, for obvious reasons ;)

They do mostly tactical battlefield recon cams, typically mounted in a pod under an F-16. The funny thing is, for all their high-tech wizardry, most of their business is done with friendly foreign nations - they sell a few to the Navy every now and then, and the rest go to approved overseas allies...

As it happens, the heat-sensing devices will work with increasing efficiency as
cold weather tightens its grip in the region.

In the spring of 2002, the USA will need to erect a memorial on the top of
the highest mountain near the tunnel area. It should read:
"When you are looking at these mountains, you are looking at the mass graves
of the Taliban and Al-Quida that miscalculated the resolve of the United States of America".
