If I can see my car parked in front of my house, imagine what level of detail Big Brother can see! How about R/C drone aircraft. Maybe not every road, all the time, but as we need them? Or.... What about those nifty automatically triggered cameras that take a picture of your license plate when you run a red-light on Roosevelt Blvd., or when you violate the EZ-pass lane? Put them on motion sensors. So what if you get a few pics of camels, or the the occasional trooper taking a leak.
In this digital age where one can stream a Britney Spears video to a cell phone, I don't think it is out if the realm of possibility. It is high time some of this technology that we use for entertainment can be implemented here. Technology is everwhere.
I recently went on my honeymoon to Petit St. Vincent (far south in the Grenadines) I am not kidding when I say it is tiny and remote. About 2 - 3 sq. miles. I took us 2 planes and a 45 min boat ride to get there. It it only accessable by boat. Look it up. But..... all of the staff had cell phones, I was able to get service (much to my chagrin, actually), and event the charter sailboat had broadband internet access. Technology permeates everywhere, even in the desert. I'm sure that there is SOME possible way to use some of it to keep our troops safer. Heck, lets put some of our acne prone squeakers, or white collar hackers in prison to some good use. Let them hack THEIR network for a change.
Next time they try to pull up data or sensitive material from us, fedd em' a Britney video. 
*edit* Or, maybe, stop trying to keep Israel so "calm" Let the Iraelis have a wack at them for a change. I know that I, personally, wouldn't want to screw with them. They have 12 year olds that could kick my *** in hand to hand. I think its time to let the genie out of the bottle. It is hard to argue with a nation that believes that their land was given to them by God.
Von Messa ever heard of this mother, from the United States who is using the internet from her own home posing as a terrorist, and asking for trade in weapons and other materials and in the process getting terrorist, pictures, locations, and stone cold info. She then passes it on to i think it is the Fbi, Homeland security, and whatever government entities that will listen to her.
Guess what, she's not barking up the wrong tree. As i believe they have gotten a good number of solid leads, and information that i believe has led to some arrests. It's a massive terrorist sting operation. Now imagine what would happen if we did that using America's many varied resources.
While Bush and every conservative republican war monger in America is busy spraying piss into the wind in Iraq only to have it blow back in their face. This womans doing it the smart way, she's not screwing around with that other crap. She's going straight to where Johhny terrorist hides and eliminating him.
Imagine that on a large scale, might be more accurate than what were doing now. The terrorist opens his door hoping to get his brand new C4 explosive materials only to find a bunch of angry Special Ops folks at his door.
