Nailed it on your first post. Welcome to the forum. WSA you claim to be a lawyer. Would you take this case? Would you refer this case to a colleague?

Interesting comments Hiflier, they help me clarify my views on this. Well, as I've said, there are multitudes of outcomes possible here, limited only by our willingness to entertain them. Here's one more hypothetical: Disclaimer Required by CA Code Section, etc...... The granting of a business license to the entity known as Okey Dokey Sasquatch Tours LLC by the State of California is ONLY for the purpose of regulating the health and safety of its agents, employees and customers and to better assure compliance with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations. The issuance of this license does in no way constitute an endorsement or affirmation by the State of Californai as to the existence of the putative animal commonly described as a "Sasquatch", or "Bigfoot" . The State of California takes no position as to the actual existence, or non-existence of this animal, but in so licensing Okey Dokey Sasquatch Tours Inc, the State grants it an authorization to charge fees for purposes of guiding its customers to locations to attempt to see or otherwise make contact with a Sasquatch, should the species actually exist. The Petitioner better be able to explain why such a Disclaimer, if required, would not cure her predicament just as well as the state declaring Sasquatch as real.

I don't think that's even necessary. There is already plenty of precedent for "industries" that rely on "unproven" entities or subject matter that is central to their "business". The UFO industry is huge. It has its own organizations, tours, conferences and literature etc. Likewise with the paranormal industry, specifically ghosts and such. How many hundreds of haunted house tours must there be? Are they shut down or discredited as fraud? No. There will always be customers willing to pay... Its all about the mystery. In Ms. Ackley's case, in my opinion, ironically if she wins - she actually loses.

Even if it's only a matter of being the best builder of such 'devices' in order to sell them either to private enterprises or the military, the nature of such competition will result in escalating the capabilities of these machines. It's why they push the envelope. But it's also indicative of what you say: they are nuts. One government sanctions the technology because opposing governments also sanctions it. They are effectively ALL nuts. But it will continue as other things like weapons build up have UNTIL they all quit escalating together. One has to wonder what discussions go on behind closed doors between governments regarding the unbelievable mindless destruction an uncontrolled army of these machines could wreak. For if the people that have entered the security codes controlling the activities of automated killers get killed themselves then who is going to stop the machines in their mission to destroy the 'enemy' Humans they have been programmed to destroy? That's a worse case scenario for the movies of course, unless the large EMP defenses against that type of threat is somehow rendered ineffective. THEN there will come the nightmare. Kind of interesting to think that a clever imperialistic policy would design a strategy in which the robot army would cause the EMP weapons to be initiated by which the defending country wipes out its OWN electronic counter attack. Folks, it's why things are, and are going, underground.

I'm sure it does, 2 or 3 had what looked like semi-dried slobber on them. Waste of my money to have them tested though, IMO......believe me, they are better off as a Cryptid, and more fun for us.

I find this disturbing:
