    This is what I think the US should do to solve this problem. http://www.radiolab.org/story/eye-sky/
    It's controversial, but I think the US should do it, not ask permission, and not tell anyone. Then, we'll all find out in 50 years during the Muslim edition of VH1's "Where Are They Now?"

    I knew you guys would respond in this way. If the government wants to use this technology to quietly and effectively eradicate this problem, they'd get less resistance from the public, and the enemy. I only even brought this up because I know that no administration has the sac to face any issues openly and directly. Since everything is going to be done in the dark and dead of night anyway, might as well be something for the benefit of the country. You know, assuming that government felt like doing it's job of keeping us safe while not disrupting us for a few days.

    What makes you think they aren't doing this already?

    Well, now that you have me thinking about it, I imagine both government and private orgs (Google... ie Google Earth?) have been doing similar work with Satellites for a while...but it may not necessarily be real time or "rewindable".

    Because we still have a Muslim problem. Oh no doubt they are spying on everything, they're just not using this in the country's best interest to keep us safe from outside threats. If anyone listened to the podcast, they have used this here, and caught a car thief within minutes of the crime.

    There is this entire website as well: http://www.theboxotruth.com/tag/original-chapters/

    This one is specifically rifles and shotguns: http://www.theboxotruth.com/the-box-...uns-and-walls/

    Lessons learned:


    1. Contrary to what we have been told, XM-193 does not seem to “fragment” when shot into drywall walls. After we were through for the day, we even shot several more rounds of XM-193 into the walls to see if we could get one to fragment. They did not. It is clear that they were tumbling and deviating from the flight path, but they were still penetrating the walls. Now, before anyone says it, No, I do not know how much damage they would do to someone after the 4th wall. But they would do some damage as they were still penetrating.
    2. Remington 55 grain JSP and Frangible 5.56 also penetrated all 4 walls. So did the .30 Carbine. When shooting rifles, walls are concealment, not cover.
    3. 00 Buck penetrates 4 walls with ease. It is a great “Stopping” round, but there is a price to pay. Until someone invents a “Phaser” like on Star Trek, anything that will stop a bad guy, will also penetrate several walls.
    4. Birdshot does not excessively penetrate drywall walls. But it does not penetrate deeply enough to reach a bad guy’s vital organs. Birdshot makes a nasty but shallow wound. It is not a good Stopper. Use Birdshot for little birds. Use 00 Buckshot for bad guys.
    5. The sun was shining, it was a lovely day, and it was fun shooting stuff.
