Drone patrols take off



This is from msnbc, which we will now remember, is a news source speaking for General Electric the weapons manufacturer.

Unmanned remote control "drone" aircraft are in use now for US border patrol and whatever else:

"The border agency's fully loaded, $10.5 million Predators carry long-range cameras, but even at night, operators using the drones' radar imaging and infrared capabilities can light a target with a laser visible only through the night vision goggles of helicopter crews who intercept some of the border crossers.

"That's like a little red finger from God coming down and saying, 'Hey, there's some guy under that tree right there.' Very effective," McNall said."
