Re: An Interesting Indent.

Most consumer drones operate on the unlicensed 2.4 & 5ghz band's it's not exactly subtle to roll up and disable all wifi in a block's radius, even the dumbest drug dealer is going to notice that.

No but if they put in some transmitters at more than a few random places on the boarder they wouldn't have to be manned. The effect would be that the bad guys would assume there's agents in place. Maybe kick off the jammer, have a half dozen agents run around for a week to show a presence and move on. Seems this getting to Spy-vs-Spy stuff. Do it enough with manning the sites randomly and the bad guys won't know if the border patrol is there or not.
