So! When it's from some questionable newsagency it MUST be wrong!!

Maybe it is wrong, that's why I asked you, if this story is a hoax or is the government i USA planning to send drones to monitoring the amerian people.

American's have already been arrested through use of drones, one particular one patrolling the US/Canadia border - is Canada really that bad?

A lot of marijuana smuggling goes on across the US/Canada border, from what I understand.

I am not familiar with the west coast, but out east, the two main weak points are the Ontario-New York borders and the various Indian reserves which dot the frontier.

Ontario and New York are separated by the St-Lawrence river. At night, the USCG will often spot fast boats crossing the river, but usually cant react before they are across.

The other major problem are Indian reserves which straddle the border. Movement from Canada or the US onto the reserves is unrestricted. Canadian authorities are unwilling or unable to act on the reserves. In theory, the canada-US border on the reserve is supposed to be policed by the local band, but it is well known to be relatively "porous".

Why thank you. I may be quoting le grande nazi this month, but America's own James Madison said it many years earlier:
Quote:

Perhaps it is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad.
