They already, in effect, do.
You see, those "no firearms" signs at the door are not there to stop the criminals (let's face it, if signs worked, all we need to do is to set up a factory producing "no crime" signs to paste up all over the country...). Those signs are there so that if you get shot, centre management can say "we did what we can to prevent this, we are not liable".
Next time you go there (if you're stupid enough
stop by the door, read all the verbiage, and try to figure out why exactly it's all there.Hint: it's not for your benefit.
Definitely, but that place is too farking big, if you forget which end you parked your car at you're screwed.
you are correct there.

And how pray tell would the robbers have escaped a UAV? Just a RC manually controled model plane would have helped...... don' t understand what is going on in this country...
Instead of a fully functional UAV system develop a manned system with stability systems and real time feedback to the pilot. That can be done at a fraction of the cost of a UAV - AND with products already out in the RC world. A long range radio system with dual 3CCD cameras for eyes - there's your depth perception for navigating visually - and still room for the payload. The CCD can be used at night to spot the horizon for manual wing leveling control. A [[ThermalImagingCameras]] is used for night time surveillance.
Thermopiles([[RateGyro2]], http://tinyurl.com/5aojhv) and/or commercial IMU([[RateGyro]], http://tinyurl.com/odv79s) allows periods of automatic flight reducing considerably pilot workload. The automatic flight control systems don't function 100% the time ,thus the need for manual override to control the plane should the IMU systems malfunction.
The range of the craft is limited by what type of radio link is used to stream back a real-time video feed. Reverse engineer the analogue transmitters ([[RadioModems]], http://tinyurl.com/otu8ab on 800Mhz via [[BoMarc]] so that a more powerful transmitter can be built. The cameras used will be [[SerialCameras]],http://tinyurl.com/5bj5t5, [[Mpeg4Compression]],http://tinyurl.com/o6x2e2 and [[CctvCameras]].
The ideal transmission link would be a [[FpGa]] [[SoftwareDefinedRadio]] or [[WiMax]] system to which an embedded [[Mpeg4Compression]] is connected.
