Good idea, Kid!

The WDFW can team up with the UW and GE to make the worlds LARGEST in-river MRI, Ultrasound, or even CAT scanner.

The river(s) can flow right through the scanning area! Never mind that the scanners are just looking at densities of hard and soft tissues/bone/cartlidge to resolve an image, but hey, that's neither here or there. Never mind that targets need to be stationary, but again, not my problem to work out.

Much like that TV show Stargate - the WDFW just needs to get those 1000' MRI scanners out of Area 51 and on to the riverbed of the Sauk and/or Skagit!

Hmmm, not too sure a 1000' MRI is gonna cut it. Those are some big rivers, and as mentioned above, if you take into the accounts on when they are at 50,000, we'll need a bigger scanner.

10,000 ft diamater scanner might work.

(I wonder how far a piece of metal will need to be away from this scanner? A mile? 5 miles? 10 miles?

Wow. That's a lot of magnets. Me thinks the cost of our licenses might go up a tad next year.

I won't even start on the infared satellite idea. Damn shuttles keep blowing up in space. Too risky.



PS. Read the latest Aviation Weekly on the F-22 Raptors that are now in service. Bet one of those would work! Does everything else - at a safe distance of 65,000 feet. Sucks to be an aviation enemy/threat to the US now.

Freakin' amazing aircraft. I need an F-22 now. Damn.
