There is supposedly one of these on the sign that says you are entering willits, if it is true, then why dont they just post up and get anyone that goes by. because millions upon millions make it up without a problem on the reg....

But just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after you.

 

[jbarsk8]

ok, well I will personally tell you that I know of 150k + traveling up the 101, through willits, over 20 times successfully, take it for what its worth......


any more info on this is very much appreciated thanks guys

I don't know what to think about the money scanner, I'd think it's those strips in the bills ... I have heard about it before this year also. Fwiw the fed posted up was just north of willits so that fits well. It almost seems like they are just researching .... For all the strange cars, I don't see much of anything pulled over, cash is all over the rd right now.

I just road some back roads in no hum, insane gur activity.

Money runs all up and down that area, ALL times of year. Seems like paranoia and even if it isn't, know your enemy. At least know them well enough to be one step ahead, or you will be the product of these stories/rumors. Stay safe.

Well I know of one trucking company that is running $1 - 2 Mill plus on a irregular schedule between LA and Seattle. My friend drives for them. Weird...that x-ray machine!

I heard of the money gun like three years ago from cats near Nevada city that said they had a connect get rolled up and they told him how much paperwork he had..I think being sloppy is what gets people got not star trek technology

Also unknowingly having your vehicle scanned is a pretty big violation of your rights.

Endur I get what you understand but have you found any definitive white papers or patents on the creation of this technology

 

[turtle farmer]

Great,not only do I need foil on my hardhat...I need to wrap Ben Franklin too now.
I LOVE living in Nor-Cal,but sometimes I have to shake my head.
nothing the feds try to pull will EVER surprise me.

 

[thaicat]

I've heard of the Money Gun too but how are you going to XRay organic matter? Money is made out of cotton base paper....Just curious on any white papers any one has found on similar technology anywhere in any industry...The scanners at the Air Ports aren't even picking up money....

It makes no difference what material consists of. When they x-ray a vehicle, they're looking for abnormal objects within said vehicle. They well know how each and every vehicle is put together...They're trained and tested as such.

Say a 2000 Eclipse comes through and there's an abnormality in the driver side fender...They see that. They have no idea what it is...organic, inorganic or some hooker's panties...Last years Christmas ham, it could be anything but it doesn't belong there and they realize that.

They tear the car apart, if it's contraband, your busted. If crusty the Mechanic left some tool in there when he repaired the car...Well, you're just SOL.

It makes no difference what the material is made of, if there's an abnormality within that vehicle, it's a beacon in the night.

On the flip side of that. If money, weed...Whatever , is contained in a bag of clothes, normal packing consistent with somebody moving, such as housewares or whatever, that doesn't look out of place. It's abnormalities hidden within body panels or other parts of the vehicle that they're looking for.

Think of a dental x-ray and how it's supposed to look. If you have a huge lump of gum in your cheek, any Dentist worth his salt would wonder what the Hell it was.

 

[thaicat]

From my understanding, the technology is there.
I hear, the Xray machine is mounted into the vehicle, and can scan other vehicles 360 degrees, within 20ft.

It picks up the little metal strip, in the higher domination currency.
It can tell the operator closely how much cash, is within, the vehicle.

My Uncle, has lived & worked, within The Northern California I5 corridor, all his life. Between Redding & Yreka.

This has been going on for close to 10years, now.

Just something to think about.
Peace
Endur

Sorry to be the one to point it out but...Everything you wrote in that post is incorrect.

 

[thaicat]

People travel, all over America/The World travel with untold sums of money. You can be carrying $10 Billion dollars in your trunk but that doesn't make you a drug dealer, a terrorist or any other sort of cretin. I deal in antiques, tools , cars and anything else I can make a buck from.

 

[Yes4Prop215]

^but in america they will still arrest you on suspicion of having illegal money and make you PROVE to them later its legit cash...

this goes into a whole new subject IMO, which shouldnt be discussed on IC..

lets get back to topic....whos been seeing choppers, been hearing about neighbors getting compliance checks or raided....where the money ray is located and what it looks like..etc.

 

[stasis]

1o K or more is "illegal" (a customs violation) to carry and subject to seizure. Especially crossing borders. Look for more Currency and Border Controls in the Coming Years.

 

[FreedomFightr]

559 (Fresno, Ca) is getting hit hard this week.
3 grows, some 1300+ plants,
Feds say there is 300+ grows that are going to be targeted, but admitted they are NOT going to get them all.

Crazy shit man. Lots of action going on Modesto too. I read of one bust of a lady who had like 76!
Be safe out there guys!

 

[mr.shiva]

All the busts around us the past week have been neighborhood complaints, stuff in right in the open.

Going for the "Low-Hanging Fruit.."

Not since the waning days of World War II have the mammoth wooden blimp hangars at the former military base in Tustin seen as much airship manufacturing work as they do today.

Inside the 17-story structures that rise above southern Orange County, Worldwide Aeros Corp. is building a blimp-like airship designed for the military to carry tons of cargo to remote areas around the world.

"Nobody has ever tried to do what we're doing here," Chief Executive Igor Pasternak said of the 265-foot skeleton being transformed into the cargo airship. "This will revolutionize airship technology."

PHOTOS: Next-generation airships

Residents of Southern California are no strangers to airships. The Goodyear blimp, based next to the 405 Freeway in Carson, regularly lumbers its way across Southland skies and settles above the Rose Bowl and other locations for televised views from overhead. Goodyear imitators also dot the skies above other venues.

But in recent years, the affordability of airships as well as developments in high-definition cameras, high-powered sensors and other unmanned technologies have turned these oddball aircraft from curiosities of a bygone era to must-have items for today's military. And airships increasingly are being used for civilian purposes.

The federal government is buying blimps, zeppelins and spy balloons, and many of these new-generation hybrid "lighter than air" aircraft are taking shape across California.

"So much is going on with airships in California now," Pasternak said. "It wasn't this way 10 years ago."

Pasternak's Montebello firm makes airships used for surveillance, advertising and transport. Lockheed Martin Corp. designs and builds airships for commercial use at its secretive Skunk Works facility in Palmdale. Northrop Grumman Corp. does design work for airships around the Southland but is building them in Florida.

Although these steerable aircraft are sometimes known casually as blimps, there are differences. A blimp is shaped by the gas inside of it, whereas a zeppelin has a rigid skeleton inside. The helium-filled sky balloons, or aerostats, used over Afghanistan are neither blimps nor zeppelins. But they all fall under the term "airship."

The importance of these next-generation airships became obvious to the Pentagon as increased use of drones highlighted the need for stationary aircraft that could provide constant surveillance, not just overhead flights for a few hours. That's where these unmanned blimps came into play, with their ability to linger over an area for days at a time.

Using balloons, blimps and zeppelins in a war zone is not a new idea. The military used balloons for aerial observation posts during the Civil War, and the Germans used zeppelins to drop bombs on England during World War I. Locally, massive blimps regularly patrolled the Pacific Ocean coastline looking for Japanese submarines and other warships during World War II.

After that, the military began opting for helicopters and sub-hunting aircraft, and the demand for blimps, balloons and other airships began to taper off. But they have played an expanded role in recent years in Mideast conflicts. Currently, there are more than 100 aerostats being used in Afghanistan, up from fewer than 10 in 2004.

Resembling small blimps, these aerostats are tethered to the ground and float thousands of feet above military bases and important roadways. They are big enough that gunfire below won't take them down. Cameras on aerostats are similar to those on drones and can see for many miles at a fraction of the per-flight-hour cost of a drone. They're also used to monitor the U.S.-Mexico border.

"It's an affordable solution," said Terry L. Mitchell, intelligence futures director at Army headquarters. "You can provide overwatch of the base or troops as they make their way on the ground."

But these less-sophisticated aerostats don't have nearly the size or the capability of the next-generation airships that are being designed and manufactured in California and across the nation.

Pasternak's Aeroscraft being built in Tustin is a zeppelin with a rigid skeleton made of aluminum and carbon fiber. A new type of hybrid aircraft that combines airplane and airship technologies, the Aeroscraft doesn't need a long runway to take off or land because it has piston engines that allow it to move vertically and a new high-tech buoyancy control system.

Pasternak runs a hand through his mop of salt-and-pepper hair and points to the spiny monstrosity, boasting of its versatility.

"This will land in Africa, Afghanistan," he says, "a Wal-Mart parking lot — wherever."

Pasternak hopes to have a first flight by early next year and to demonstrate cargo-carrying capability shortly thereafter.
