Just a few US Government owned vehicles/vessels/aircraft that come to mind that might find a serious value in FOLO could be: Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, Postal Dept, CIA, FBI and all the various and sundry agencies. It seems that the technology as I understand it has many applications. The detractors and their repetitive posting of ridiculous questions have made this board a mess...too bad.

some on this board were alluding that MCCY had this deal that involved the us government and tracking Mexican transport companies that enter into US...Just want people to know that pilot program was quashed by the US senate.

Senate Votes Against Mexican Trucks Program


Less than a week after the first Mexican trucks were allowed by the Transportation Department past a border zone, the Senate voted on Tuesday to ban Mexican trucks from U.S. roadways, the Associated Press reported.

By a 74-24 vote, the Senate approved a proposal by Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.) prohibiting the DOT from spending money on its pilot program under the North American Free Trade Agreement to give Mexican trucks greater access to U.S. highways, AP said.

In July, the House approved a similar provision as part of its version of the transportation spending bill, voting 411-3 against the plan.(Click here for previous coverage.)
