Bots vs. Smugglers: Drug Tunnel Smackdown
Wired News (05/16/09) Madrigal, Alexis

This may be OT...:
-- not only does it "not" explicitly mention Gnu/Linux, or FLOSS as such,
but it quotes a roboticist, (David Bruemmer),
("who runs the [Idaho National Laboratory (INL)] Robotic Intelligence Kernel
laboratory")
saying something that, seems like he is speaking highly of Windows.
Some of you might find that puzzling, or even disturbing...
Arizona in the news:
It even mentions hardware
("researchers used a robot equipped with chemical sensors to search a tunnel
near Arizona's border")
and "Homeland Security officials" (think: Janet Napolitano)
