Work"
Sierra Vista, Arizona -- September
20 -- American Border Patrol announced at its annual public meeting
in Sierra Vista that it would begin using its fleet of Border
Hawk unmanned aerial vehicles to search for suspected border
intruders (SBIs) this week. According to ABP head, Glenn Spencer,
the fleet of four UAVs is ready for work. "We are still
doing development testing, but don't be surprised if we catch
images of SBIs any day now." (See video clip of test video):
