Yes, kind of exactly like that.
It's done by helicopter with a system that images appearance wise sort of like FLIR. It gives an excellent representation of the individuals as well as weapons etc. on board. It's even more apparent and absolute though when they are attempting to board ship armed with heavy firepower.

Well, from your first statement above, I would say you: 1. have a misunderstanding of what the words "due process" actually mean, and how they might apply in actual situations in the real world, or 2. are knowingly misrepresenting your postion (that would otherwise be known as lying), or 3. are kidding yourself that you actually believe in it (IOW, self-delusion)
(Personally my bet is on all three)
.... how exactly do you "believe" in due process ?
.... as some sort of nebulous, esoteric, abstract concept ... that has no applicability in the real world ?
Is it something that you "believe" in ..... until you watch some show on the one-eyed monster (a very good way to allow oneself to be hypnotized) that pushes your buttons and sets off your emotions .... until you just wanna lash out "punish" the evil-doers at any cost ?
Can you even tell me - why did man develop due process - what was, and is, it's purpose ?
Many of your posts in the Soapbox are a text-book classic case of someone who lets their emotions control their thoughts ......
You really believe you are thinking ..... I believe all you are doing is ....... reacting ...... whenever some external stimuli hits somewhere within your range of perception. It is a kind of low-order thought I suppose ..... but I sure wouldn't call it analytical thought .....
The statements above, regarding common sense are actually great examples of it: I watched this _____ (fill in the blank) ... and then I had this thought _____ (fill in the blank) .....
External stimulus -----> reaction
Of course, your premise in the last item I quoted above, is an utterly simplistic view and characterization, which, in the specific (dealing with the entirety of the specific individuals who comprise either class - lawyers or liberals), can never possibly be true. As such, your statement is, in fact, a lie - and that would make you .....
Well, you get the point .....
I'm curious - would you say that John Yoo - who was the author of the Bybee memo, which laid the "legal basis" for the Bush-era use of "enhanced interrogation techniques" in the War on Terror - didn't want common sense ?
What about Jay Bybee .... or any other of the "Bush Six" ?
All of these men were lawyers.
BTW, while we're on the subject of lawyers ...... you do realize that 35 of 55 Founding Fathers - the men who founded this country - were, in fact, lawyers ?
Seems to me that they possessed quite a bit of common sense (and more importantly, a good bit of uncommon sense) .... it's unfortunate, that some of those who followed in their footsteps weren't quite as well endowed ....

LOL, told you so Leo, well in a round about way at least!! You reactionary "caveman" you!!!
I heard Carnival Cruise Lines, Norwegian Cruise Lines, and Maersk, got together and bought 350 FLIR-equipped helicopters. That way they can get a good look at the RPGs that are being fired at the helicopters, just before they're blown out of the sky.
