The DNR's new Multisensor Surveillance Packages abound.

Other than an array of high energy x-ray beams and redundant 50 Watt lasers, the current models are strictly passive. In addition to minimizing the value of people's kamping experience, DNR officials are looking for novel ways to employ their new toys. 'The sky's really the limit. We know where you're going, we can see what you're doing, we even know what you're thinking. The level of control we can apply with the MSP is really quite marvellous.'

Those opposed to the new technology form a growing but ineffectual group. Senior opponentologist K3.14159 recently began noticing what he believes to be a new stealth model. The revelation comes on the heels of extensive sensitivitytesting using a proprietary burning blue jean technique. 'I can't say I understand the Jackboots' motivation,' he comments. 'They certainly aren't concerned with either the environment or whether we know they're up there. Everybody's tongue is getting a little sore these days.'

    K3.14159 tests the limits of Jackboot sensor capabilities.

According to the DNR ... 'Technology marches on. We have an escalating intervention model in field trials now. After we've installed the electrodes in your testicles, there'll be no place to hide.'

The jackboots are out there.
