Flying Cars Coming to Texas by 2020-Border Wall a Monument to Stupidity of Man

[Stallion]

once these flying cars become commercially available-what's stopping immigrant traffickers from simply using flying cars in remote areas in the night to simply fly over a Border Wall-a crossing could probably be completed in minutes and they'd be gone before it could be stopped

1. Nothing is stopping them from using airplanes now.

If an airplane flies low with its transponder off, it can often avoid radar. They've been using airplanes since forever, and lately they've been using ultralights. http://articles.latimes.com/2011/may/19/local/la-me-border-ultralight-20110520

2. Post of the week!

Hahahahahhaa I love this thought! By the time the damned wall is commissioned, there'll be mini car-ports springing up in barns and garages all over northern Mexico.

It just goes to show you how fucked up decision making can be when people don't think things through...

3. They try with ultra lights now. Border Patrol has helicopters

and ultra lights. Same with the river and boats.

The border has very effective radar so that anythi my that elevates is seen very quickly.

Besides that traffic going north feeds into choke points which have BP checkpoints.

Right now all they have to do is throw the drugs over the fence.

4. Trebuchets would do the trick.

Anyone who understands the dynamic nature of the operations of the border knows that nothing works for more than a few months because they have a new strategy for the next defensive measure. Walls which are essential in the urban areas are a waste of money in the rural areas.

The most effective way to counter the cartel is to intercept their money on the way back. Cartels are used to losing 50% of their product but cannot stand losing much cash going south.

6. They DO use planes

When my father was living in Albuquerque, he signed on to Civil Air Patrol. One of the things they did was cruise up and down the border looking for suspicious planes. He explained that drug runners would put on heavier duty, "all terrain" type tires on their landing gear so they could land and take off in the desert without a landing strip.
