Is it your intention to keep me in stitches?

Maybe that was a backpeddling attempt, too?
hey ya'all - who's with me to sit at the hill to watch for illegals with rifles at our sides?
Nawww, I will buzz them with a flying replica of a shotgun.
but..... I don't wanna end up like Rob Krentz

No way!!!
I'm curious about the unmanned drones. Does anyone know what kind they are, and what the flying range is? Pics would be appreciated.
That's easy. I'm guessing probably the predator drones due to them becoming a standard. They're highly versatile and used in many instances.

I love that scene!So? I don't wanna end up like Major "King" Kong riding the nuclear bomb in Dr. Strangelove. :P

Edit: Just did a search, more likely than not now:
FOXNews.com - U.S. Predator Drones to Surveil Mexican Border
there are many kinds. Different company. different size. One thing for sure - it's helluva expensive and it's invasive.
This common UAV aka predator drone is by Lockheed. Some by Boeing. Some by Northrop Grumman
Most drones are unarmed and it's usually used for surveillance for special forces on ground. It's still on-going debate within White House on legality for using armed predator drones however Obama Administration has used the armed predator drone program extensively in a ruthless way. Before - it was "identify, verify, and destroy." Now it's just "search and destroy" which was a controversial, touchy issue.
There is a much smaller drone... the one where soldier can carry and launch it by hand.
I believe it's called Dragon Eye.
I know they are expensive, maybe exorbitantly so for the military-style drones. Perhaps we will use a cheaper scaled-down model, minus the weaponry. I imagine that half a billion would only get us a few of these! We can only wait and see, I guess.
Whew, finally you show something much more affordable!
