NEWS FROM THE FRONT “ News9.com - Oklahoma City, OK - News, Weather, Video and Sports | A government report reveals testing in Oklahoma of drones with sensors that can find people and even tell if you are carrying a weapon. It's happening at a remote site near Fort Sill. The publication Homeland Security Today says the testing is taking place at the Oklahoma Training Center for Unmanned Systems operated by Oklahoma State University.

Let me confess here that I was among those who initially  applauded the Bush Administration's sharp reaction after 9-11.  The  restructuring of  national security services into The Department of Homeland Security.  The very name made me cringe, but yes, I was a cheerleader for this  smothering blanket  of government control over every aspect of our lives. Whether by bad luck or contrivance,  Barry Obama inherited that infrastructure   Homeland Security  have become Obama's promised "private army," and we are in his thrall. That leaves us with but one option;—throw them all down a volcano.  Sigh.  A nasty business that will be, but necessary. ”
