nd the plane will be moving kinda fast for something that small.

As you point out, this can all be recorded for detailed examination later.

[prophetic]

Methinks that these dutch has really lost it.

Maybe its a direct consequence of all that "LEGAL DRUGS" that they have available for all and sundry to buy off the streets.

And of course the MSM is really gonna lap it up saying just how great & technologically advanced these dutch really are!!

[solitas]

Imagine one of these babys knocking on YOUR door.

...beer...drink...read...SNORT...ouch.ouch.ouch...

Just imagine the earth and her body heat as a certain shade and hue of red, or green, and loose earth of NOT the same density, ergo, warmth - it will show up lighter.

Ah yes folks.....we're seeing "old European" elites at work...to cover their asses and salvage their tourist business -- without punishing the "natives"....

Three punk kids haven't been broken....
A wannabe judge -- looking like a sheep killing dog and he walks the street...
His punk son, ADMITS he lied about bringing the girl back to the hotel..
One of the punk son's friends -- admits "something bad" happened to the girl.....

Time to smack the shit out of someone to get the truth....

Not to worry.....
I'm sure there are some "good ol boys" back in Alabama that will see to it that the punk kid never lives a carefree life again.....

Infrared is great at detecting recently disturbed ground.

A month old shallow grave is not "recently disturbed ground", and even if it was, they would be checking out every rabbit hole and garden on the island. This is a silly attempt to reassure American tourists that they mean business (no pun intended).

[Spktyr]

As I said before, a shallow grave will show up on IR for *months*, depending on the soil and amount of rainfall. Sandy soil is the best, IIRC.

This may work if they put the 3 suspects in front of the 3 F-16's air intakes and throttle up during interrogation,

DING! DING! DING! DING! Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

Like the F-18 did at Buckley Field in Denver this week? The only thing the pilot forgot was to use the door.

I worked for GD in the 80's too. I never heard the 16s called Vipers until the mid-90s.

What'll they call this, Operation Landshark?

Yes, and on an IR-heated tropical island to boot.

[Chode]

so basicly they will see the outline of the hole not the body... well that ought to be easy enough to spot with a computer false color image then

A number of bodies have been found in the Nevada desert because of IR. I'd say that's at least as hot as Aruba.

That's why it's rare to hear of someone dumping a body out in the desert there these days (among other reasons).

Actually, that makes sense. The less dense material will heat and cool at a different rate as the surrounding dense material as day and night passes. Add to that an unnatural pattern of loose and compacted soil, e.g. a grave, and you've got yerself a detection system.

[Spktyr]

Exactly so.

[steve86]

A number of bodies have been found in the Nevada desert because of IR. I'd say that's at least as hot as Aruba.

And cool at night (unlike the island). Ever heard the saying "Cool desert nights"? Very little temperature variation between night and day in the tropics. That's what you're relying on.

I thought Vipers flew off the Battlestar Gallactica!

They're called Trylon Vipers and, apparently, have very big wheels. Is that an 8-track player?

[steve86]

Aruba: High 89, low 80.

Laughlin, NV.: High 111, low 76.

(Forecasts for today).

The MIA teams are still looking for, and finding, gravesites and crash sites in Vietnam with satellite based IR. I don't think they've gotten airborne IR to that sensitivity level yet, but it's getting close.
