Man, during deer season the US is in serious danger of running out of Hellfire missiles. One way to change the balance of opinion regarding the meaning of the Second Amendment. MRAPs in the woods and Predators in the skies. Target rich environment.

Since armed bandits and smugglers are the greatest dangers to BP agents, I'd say these drones make a lot of sense. It was armed bandits who killed Brian Terry a few years ago (the agent killed by the "fast and the furious" gun).
Edit: motor vehicle accidents are actually the greatest danger, but you get my drift.
Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.
