A new U.S. government audit is questioning the value of using drones to conduct surveillance along the Canadian and Mexican borders.The report from the Inspector General of the Department of Homeland Defense found that the drones were not only costly, but were grounded much of the time.
“We see no evidence that the drones contribute to a more secure border, and there is no reason to invest addition taxpayer funds at this time,” Inspector General John Roth said in a statement this week.
The inspector general found “little or no evidence” that the fleet of Predator drones was effective in conducting surveillance.

I don't suppose the enthusiasm of the *drones can walk on water" school and salesmen will abate one drop
