Re: 26/11/2008: Never Forget. Never Forgive
This incident. I was wondering whether anyone in this world has ever thought whether using drone technology to handle this episode. Someone from probably a research consortium/institution could probably design miniature drones....who could probably sneak up to these guys without them noticing. Then ...
