Are they making use of those little remote controlled aircraft that have
a camera in them? Looks like they could fly them up and down the
highways at irregular times and catch them in the act of setting up
those "widow makers". Don't these planes have IR camera capability? If
they're worried about flying them at night and maybe losing one (and the
technology of it) ...put a little charge in it and detonate it with a
button. Not enough is being done about the IED deaths, in my opinion.
Putting armor on the vehicles is exactly how they want us to
retaliate...so they can make their bombs bigger and we're back to square
one. It seems like our boss is on their side. Fred Martin
