Wow, as if Waco could be any worse than it was.

Here's a REALLY scary thought: you can put together a lot of this sort of capability with stuff from Radio Shack and the local model & hobby shop.

Imagine terrorists, foreign or domestic, with this sort of gear.

You can buy a satellite from Radio Shack?

Do the boosters come with it or are they purchased separately (Rockets-r-us)? ;-)

Actually, what makes Predator and Dark Star so effective are the secure, real-time satellite communications. Something a radio controlled device wouldn't have.

This power and technology in the right hands will serve the world well. But in the wrong hands...!

Waco could have been worse than it was. It could have been the whole city of Waco, e.g.

I'm a strong supporter of George Bush; he is a good man, and I trust him, but suppose we had a president of a different stripe--more on the order of, say, Caligula. The U.S. has had presidents who were scoundrels and presidents who were fools.

We Americans have more reason than ever before to fear Big Government--and Big Brother.
