Kane,
Why would the DEA use top secret military technology when infrared sensors and eyeballs work so well. Any Guerrilla grower knows it's not the plants that are spotted in the bush, but the trails. Follow the trail-find the plants.
Stealthy growers drag their plants under cover at the first sign of green harvest and move them back later. The feds get some, but that just keeps the price up.
When they first started using Helicopters 20 years ago, they would actually bring dump trucks into the neighborhoods and fill them up with plants. Now they just get pitiful handfuls; Yet there's still a glut of pot in Puna. The growers have moved indoors. Like any other War, the war on drugs is primarily driven by money-on both sides.
