I will just leave the politics out of it, and let the article speak for itself...

How is this a good plan now that everbody knows about it?

"They reckon the vehicles will let them patrol the fields around the hotel unnoticed but they will stick out like sore thumbs."

Ya think? All the "farmers" with brand new tractors that are all the same make/model.

Considering the article is from The Sun, I'd question it being fact,

Worst plan and waste of money ever. Couldn't a single helicopter cover more area than dozens of tractors. Tractors are not exactly high speed and able to chase down a potential treat.

Well, it had to be a nice order for McCormick. I don't see FELs which anyone who watches TV knows are bulletproof. Maybe just BR glass on the cabs.

Q: PTO-driven mini-gun? You know you want one.

Why not put two agents in a Holstein Cow costume? The security personal can use the Rear opening for surveilance and, if worse comes to worse, use that opening for shooting.

That is a good suggestion. Possibly room for Infra-red detection devices in that area also?

They'll be donated to Obama's library.

They will probably show up in a govt. surplus auction and the taxpayers will take another huge loss...but just chicken feed to the govt.

Agree but considering the source I'd be sure it is not a fact.

 

[brin]

Maybe intentional deception and leak of false info to confuse any bad guys...?

That's after they waste a bunch of money to ship them back to the states.
