NORAD scrambles F-16 Fighters to Arizona-Mexico border

I just looked back. yup - I made an error. a bad mathematical error. I was calculating the grams instead of pounds :roll:

Drug bust nets cocaine with street value of $9000


with this price, 1 lb of cocaine would be $16,641

Large quantities of cash, meth, cocaine, and marijuana seized by DPS this past week


with this price, 1 lb of cocaine would be $12,411

based on those average... 400 lbs of cocaine would be $5,200,000. I just corrected the price of heroin because I used the wrong conversion. 400 lbs of heroin would be $12,000,000 (possible). either way - it's not easy to do heroin/cocaine business.

Looking at DEA statistic on Arizona (source) -



whoa mama.

That's why I was trying to hint on AIM that you were off... bigtime.
 
Bottom line - if an unauthorized craft wanders into our airspace then I totally agree with the scrambling of fighter jets and I don't care if they come across the Mexican or any boarder. I don't care how light it is. It can be a hot air balloon and should still be met by our boys incase it needs an escort or needs to be shot down.

Okay, now I know how people can afford their addictions. A gram can go a long way.

I guess that depends on who ya are and if you sneeze alot :lol:

Never heard of a $36 gram though.....must be the economy. (or cut with really bad ^%$$)
 
Maybe we could make this a standard procedure. Fill the skies with war planes and attack helicopters and keep those illegals out. We could blast and strafe them as they run across the borders. Maybe even run some night missions. That would certainly discourage them, or at least make it harder to find work. And think of the wonderful experience for fresh recruits to practice their flying and shooting skills!

good question. My point being it doesn't matter what it is if it crosses into our airspace unauthorized.
