Blimps, or small unmanned aircraft, that the newspaper and Mayor Caldwell laughed out of existence as "curious" are being used in law enforcement by numerous municipalities around the country (Jan. 10 editorial, "Deflated blimp"). The number is growing rapidly because they are a cost effective solution to help make the police officers safer and by extension, our families. This is a quote from a recent article in the Wall Street Journal on the topic: "Law-enforcement officials say the unmanned aircraft help avoid putting police in the line of fire, either by performing surveillance close to the ground, like a live officer, or by monitoring from high up, removing pilots from potential danger."
