Name That Frame

What Are They Doing With That Predator?

We know the RQ-1 Predator is one versatile little machine, its Rotax 914 pushing it into all kinds of dangerous airspace over foreign lands. For that matter, it's soon to be used as a domestic spy tool, ostensibly to patrol borders; but we have inside information that it's going to be programmed to follow you, too.

[The good news: if you don't want the Predator to keep track of your every move, all you have to do is take off your aluminum-foil hat --ed.]

Anyway, we have this photo of some very clever people working on a Predator at an undisclosed location, and we were thinking we'd like to know what they were thinking.

Sure, the Predator was supposed to have been 'only' a surveillance machine; but, over just the past two or three years, it has evolved into a Hellfire-carrying instrument of death. What's the next step for this mindless drone?

Maybe you know what they were thinking. If so, please send us a one-line idea. We'll pick a few of the best, and put them on this page in the Friday edition.
