FBI spy plane zeroes in on Dearborn area
2015-08-05
An airplane linked to an FBI surveillance program that tracks alleged terrorists, spies and criminals has flown at least seven times over Metro Detroit, including two lengthy flights over the Dearborn area last weekend, according to public records.

The 2010 single-engine Cessna Skylane is part of a small air force operated by the FBI that uses high-tech cameras and sometimes cellphone surveillance technology.

The Cessna flew over the Dearborn area in slow-speed, counterclockwise orbits several miles wide and about one mile above the ground.

#6  Darth, Rand was right.

IMHO sometimes you need to reset - like a chip in the water too long picks up barnacles, you need to clean the hull.

#5  From the linked Mikie Al-Moore's wikipedia:

Critic Roger Ebert defended Moore's handling of the timeline as an artistic and stylistic choice that had less to do with his credibility as a filmmaker and more to do with the flexibility of film as a medium to express a satiric viewpoint.

In other words is a Documentary - but if you challenge its accuracy then its only a Satiric Opinion.

Shades of 'False - but Accurate!'.

And wouldn't they be able to track Al-Moore from orbit?

(Sorry just had to comment on the linked article...).

And since it is estimated that we all commit at least 3 felonies a day because laws are so complex and convoluted this means they are tracking you comrade.

#1  Remember when the FBI used to get pissy because "the CIA has it's own air force"?
