Anyone Near BG Assembly w/ A Drone?

I was looking at the new Popular Science or Mechanics and its cover article is about the dronig of America and it struck me that a GoPro equipped drone could do wonders about getting past the cclone fenced berms that surround the Bowling Green Assembly plant, so I went on Amazon and found this link:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss...es%2Caps%2C902

and that looks like an ideal solution to me. I know from past experience from a few hundred to up to several hundred assembled units can be parked in such a way as to make it difficult to observe/count.

Just an idea.

I believe the assembly plant has snipers on the roof.

Between the snipers on the roof and the reputed willingness to have any unoccupied vehicle found in the environs towed for illegal parking, no secrets should escape.

By the time one gets it and masters its flight, they will be building cars. Not to mention that it will go out of range of the transmitter and crash into the parking area where one of our cars might be.

Since it appears that a few hundred are built, now is the time for anyone near BG Assembly with a Go Pro equipped drone to take a fly by!
