CHILLICOTHE, Ohio (AP) — Within the next month, the first of 11 mobile communications trucks will be stationed around Ohio to assist law enforcement agencies during emergencies.

The diesel-powered trucks each cost $440,000. They were paid for with federal Homeland Security Act grants.

The vehicles are expected to help police and other officials communicate and better respond to flooding, ice storms, tornadoes, major crashes, terrorist attacks or other disasters.

They give law-enforcement officials the ability to access the Internet, fax, copy, print digital photographs and, maybe most important, put officials from across the state on the same radio frequencies so they can easily communicate. There is a conference room in the truck, and space for a crime lab.

The first 9-ton truck will be based in Ross County and should be ready to work by June 6.

"You're looking at the cutting edge of technology sitting right here," Ross County Sheriff Ron Nichols said Friday as law enforcement agencies unveiled the trucks....cont'd

The cutting edge of technology is a freakin' TRUCK? Yeah, I suppose so, in Chillicothe.

Isn't that how the saying goes?

Now...let's see 11 x $444,000 and that's just for the truck. Maybe the Homeland Security Chief will live in one of them (with his wife).

The next question...which of the PNAC and cabal friends will profit from this?

Next one...how do they camaflouge it?

Next....when it's announced that the origin for this purchase was a government plot, can we get a refund?

by June 6 our tornado season is almost over, it's mainly in the spring.Also our roads are in such bad shape they'll never be able to drive them here.
