Actually my post was on another forum. It went something like this;

There was a guy down on the border credited with inventing a drone system to watch the border. His name is
Glenn Spencer. His website is
The American Border Patrol.
He was using a plane to keep and eye out in his area. He then came up with and idea of somehow using small drones with a camera system for watching. I think he had it set up where they would automatically follow some sort of beacon system he had set up.
The military came to him and ask if he could build them some. From what I heard he got an order for a large number of planes. He delivered the first samples and the government took them and canceled the order. They then went with some other outfit to build their planes.
Glenn since the was working on a system that people on the Internet could log in and have access to the camera data. They could then make reports. I'm not sure what ever happened to his experiment.
If you ever get a chance there is a good book out on some of the early people that were concerned about border security.
Barbara Coe is another mentioned in the book. She worked for the police in the statistics department. I'm thinking that was back when they switch from honest to
Special Order 40 that required them to ignore Federal Immigration laws...and their oaths of office.
Barbara Coe's website
California Coalition for Immigration Reform (CCIR)
But anyway she worked in statistics and was trying to warn them where things were headed! They didn't want to hear it and I thinking removed her to try and silence her. I think maybe it backfired because she did find and audience that cared about the rule of law and has been speaking out loud and clear ever since.

Then the government also have their system of drones. The government seems pretty corrupt now so I wouldn't even want to try to guess what their planes are up to.
I'm not sure what has been happening with Glenn's American Border Patrol website. It used to be updated daily with the latest border news.
