SkyBalls can be repurposed back to do whatever Ohio was doing with it before loaning it out . The Rook will never be anything but a total waste of money.

PA State Trooper test yesterday was scrapped due to wind. 10mph is enough to ground the system. I hope ODOT is billing PA for this amazing, cost-effective tool they've graciously lended.

you know, here's an idea.

publicly announce that funding has ceased, they suspect that Frein made it out of the area. Then keep a cadre of plain clothes officers in key locations; roads, bridges and so forth. and see if Frein comes out of the forest to gloat that he has won.

If the woods are too arduous to search, and being from PA I can understand that, why not try something different then brute loving force? Why not try and outsmart.....




Oh, I've answered my own question.

Honestly, I would imagine that if Frein was still in the woods, he cannot remain there indefinitely. What I would suggest is a feint. A Ruse.

Pull the uniformed officers from the woods, post plain clothes officers on all highways out of the area. Let Frein leave the woods and come to them. Lure him out with a false sense of security.

Giant balloons aren't very aerodynamic or maneuverable.
If you follow the links in the news article to the hilarious PDF advertising the specs of the Homeland Security anti-protest floatyballs, there's no listed description of the IR capability - this is a pretty good indication that it's sold separately.

A state department of transportation doesn't need super-duper IR sensor capabilities day to day (and sure as hell doesn't have the budget to buy it for kicks), so it wouldn't surprise me if this silly thing was ineffective even in ideal weather.
