Hey, then they ought to be able to calibrate it to pick up the trademark smell of gunpowder too, right? [More]
All us "conservatives" still think the increased police powers from the war on drugs is a good idea, right? If I had used the word without quotation marks, I would not have asked the question.
One word: PULL!

I waited all day to comment, listening to the crickets....
All of you who read this site daily, who just kept on going, here's a lesson for you:
That dismissive thought you had, the 'it's (gasp) *pot*!! It's illegal!!ZOMG!!', well this is the mindset of the gun grabbers. The very same attitude you are all displaying towards this posting is the same as the standard Brady kool-aid swiller has towards firearms.
Don't bother pointing out the crime and all that crap: if it weren't illegal this stuff wouldn't happen. And the refusal to recognize the reality, the reality that this perhaps noble attempt to 'fight' (some) drugs is the reason that our Natural Inalienable Rights have been attacked for three decades now.
To be sure, the 2A is the bedrock Right. That does not mean we can ignore the others, such as the 4th, simply because we don't like the substance in question.
Yeah, Peter, let's all get doped up! What a fine country we'll be then. Pesonnally, I don't care what you do. But if it harms me or mine, you'll learn of a new kind of toasted.
The story linked has already been pushed off the main page, but I can assume that it had to do with RC drones being used to sniff out pot.
Another reason to finish my research on a wide band radio jammer, and I can only imagine the operators' faces when their expensive toy suddenly turns into a post-hole digger.

Well put Peter.
The same arguments that are made for prohibiting firearms are made for prohibiting most drugs (marijuana, heroin, and meth included): we have to protect children and society from irresponsible people who wish to use dangerous items.
Only because this country is waging a war on drugs can we also wage a war on guns. The violence and crime associated with even the most dangerous drugs are only caused by the illegalities.
The war on (some) drugs is an inexcuseable evil.
Sean sez:
"Yeah, Peter, let's all get doped up! What a fine country we'll be then. Pesonnally, I don't care what you do. But if it harms me or mine, you'll learn of a new kind of toasted."
Since you somehow needed to threaten me, I respectfully submit that you're a liar when you say that you don't care what I do. That is, if I even do it. The drugs aren't the point here, the Gummints reaction to them is.
And learn to spell: Bad enough you come across as a dumb@ss with your thoughts without confirming it with your writing style.
Next time I get stopped by one of those extra-Constitutional fishing expedition checkpoints, I'll be sure to thank you.
Texas Shooter, I responded to someone who clearly didn't read what I originally wrote.
If he can't comprehend that, why would I try to explain William Arnsparger (sp?) and the origins of the FBI? The study refuting most of the Govenment's claims by Fiorello LaGuardia?
And yes, Billy (one of my faves) is right: it is just a weed.
I think you mean Anslinger
Thanks, George...I couldn't think of the guy's name, so I took a wild guess.
