Dogs? DOH!

The did use dogs, and despite the incorrect rumors some people on the board are spreading, they were not "drug dogs" but bloodhounds.

DoD satellites? Uggh. Even with the superior resolution of satellites, there are severe limitations to their utility. They are not some omniscient "1984-1sh" eye. First of all, a satellite has to have a fly over window of a particular parcel of land on the earth in order to view it. Satellites can be rerouted, but this is no small task, and must be approved at the highest levels of intelligence and military channels. Moreover, satellites cannot see into murky rivers and through locked doors. The most effective way to find these children was through a ground search, which is what they tried.

I really cannot believe we are having this conversation on FR.

Am I being so obscure as to make you not understand that I was speaking in hyperbole??

Of course sats are not usable!
Of course planes have only a limited usefulness!

Of course bloodhounds cannot substitute for visual search by human beings!

That's my point, not some nonsense about satillite capabilities!

With so much media and video tape at the site Are there any shots of the car to indicate that the truck was open at any time???
