> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > You could hire a Canadian helicopter and pilot that are in Canada. But you need to get the pillows up there by… I don’t know. Helicopter? The US would probably be less suspicious, so hire a chopper in Ottawa, fly to Ogdensburg, NY where you have staged the pillows (only 61 miles), and haul them back and drop them. It’s right on the border, so if you were feeling particularly criminal, you could probably get away without filing to cross the border. ---

> [@Folacin](#): > > The US would probably be less suspicious, so hire a chopper in Ottawa, fly to Ogdensburg, NY where you have staged the pillows (only 61 miles), and haul them back and drop them. Shortly before the US got into WWII, during the lend-lease period a couple US aircraft manufacturers were selling aircraft to an intermediary who in turn would resell them to the RAF. They couldn’t be exported though so the completed plane would be flown to upstate NY and pushed halfway across the border where they’d be grabbed by Candaians, dragged the rest of the way across, and flown away to places unknown (to the Americans). Perhaps a chain of cartons could be set up and pushed across to be taken apart on the other side. ---

It’s right on the border, so if you were feeling particularly criminal, you could probably get away without filing to cross the border. I doubt very much that would work. A friend of mine used to have his pilot’s licence for light aircraft and was flying in southern Saskatchewan. Then he looked to his right and left and saw two US warplanes, and a radio bulletin to follow them to land at their base. He’d accidentally strayed into US airspace and was interogated; eventually let go with a warning. Given 9/11, I would imagine that the airspace near New York would be even more carefully guarded. ---

When Steve Bannon is the most clear headed speaker in the group, you’ve got a problem. Basically, what they are saying is that a lot of people voted for Trump. We don’t understand why he didn’t win.

One of my favorite insults is: I’d say you were dumber than a bag of hammers but that would be an insult to hammers. Although they are also a simple tool, they are sometimes useful, unlike you.
