Firewater (Aug 09 2003 17:56 GMT) - The first three Firewater albums didn’t really do it for me. Oh sure, I loved the concept — Tod A.

- Army considering using blimps against terroristsFrom thousands of feet up, STI's advanced optical sensor system can spot targets on the ground or deep under water and then track their movements, said Stephen Huett, ONR's project manager for the program. Huett envisions the blimps policing U.S. harbors to pinpoint terrorist divers, suspicious boats or other unusual activity. They also could provide increased surveillance at military bases or assist with border patrols, he said. |
