America's most dangerous weapons: Today we look at the Predator weapon system.

THE PREDATOR


According to Answers.com, The RQ-1 Predator is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) described as a "medium-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle system." When weaponized with two AGM-114 Hellfire missiles, the Predator can do great damage to unsuspecting targets.


WHERE PREDATORS ARE DEPLOYED

In the United States, Predators are stationed in large and small cities and towns across the nation. In the past year, Predators have scored more than 100 successful missions against unsuspecting young women targets who were "raped on recruiting office couches, assaulted in government cars and groped en route to entrance exams."

A very dangerous weapon indeed!
