Its what they already do with planes that deviate from flight paths. Avengers would just be cheaper than rolling out an F-16.

Yes and border enforcement is part of that police effort adding the costs. Thats the whole point of it.

And the police all throughout the United States, too. Local area, federal, state.

The border has places for walls, yes, but it's the least effecient options in many places.

Sure but you can't end the war on drugs without having a domestic base ready to take over the demand. Otherwise, you merely rewarding the bandits and powering cartels to continue their trade elsewhere. This is the part of the equation you are missing.

Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Well, one idea is to do what Oregon did, legalize the production side of the equation first. That way, drug makers can sell to states which require demand once they have enough product.

Wanting sectarianism to expose how bad making religion into a blank check for curtailing freedoms is is now being violent.

And and regulated the sales side, plus taxed the shit out of it. But pot smokers said legalise it and we'll happily pay the tax, so now they get to. Plus Oregon manufacturers can boost their own sales supplying states with fresh legalisations before they get in-state supplies set up.

Not saying you do that, but putting up things that shoot down planes and saying that flight paths/plans would help is wrong.
