For game wardens on the border.

M-16's are not enough.

Give them A-10 Warthogs.

Hell why stop there? M1A3 Abrahms time!

Old news. Well, not this headline, admittedly. But from the Clinton era, no less:

Weber, Diane Cecelia. "Warrior Cops: The Ominous Growth of Paramilitarism in American Police Departments". Cato Institute Briefing Paper #50. August 26, 1999. See http://www.cato.org/pubs/briefs/bp-050es.html

The National Institute of Justice Report on the DOJ-DOD technology "partnership" boasted a number of high-tech items that SWAT teams now have at their disposal. Included among the showcase military technologies deemed applicable to law enforcement were "inconspicuous systems that can detect from more than 30 feet away weapons with little or no metal content as well as those made of metal." Other items in the pipeline include a "gas-launched, wireless, electric stun projectile"; a "vehicular laser surveillance and dazzler system"; "pyrotechnic devices such as flash-bang grenades (and) smoke grenades"; instruments of "crowd control"; mobile, even hand-held, systems to locate gunfire; and tagging equipment to monitor the "movement of individuals, vehicles and containers." Special body armor and helmets are also under consideration. Nick Pastore, former police chief in New Haven Connecticut, says: "I was offered tanks, bazookas, anything I wanted .... I turned it all down because it feeds a mind-set that you're not a police officer serving a community, you're a soldier at war."

Why not give'm a coupla nukes?

Worst danger in National parks Ive been to is assholes on bikes who can run you off the paths- worst in Yellow stone with its cliffs + deadly slopes, if you stumble backward to avoid someone you could be dead prety quick.

Well soon little george bush's missle "defense" system will be located in all national parks.

(tour guide)

" on the left we have the vast forest of Yellow Stone, and on the right we have a multi-billion dollar missle system"

What would you call tem then.. national missle forests?

even Bush couldnt turn the parks into something like that - hed be impeeched.

that missile defence system is bullshit, if you get 2 unarmed missiles or heldheld rockets to go in a minute before the good one then they will have nothing left to stop it

Indeed, according to NYT:

The nation’s fledgling missile defense system suffered its third straight test failure. . .
