Homeland Security eyes robot dogs to patrol the southern border

> “That’s a tough one to answer. Because we’re selling to the military, we don’t know what they do with them. We’re not going to dictate to our government customers how they use the robots. We do draw the line on where they’re sold. We only sell to U.S. and allied governments. We don’t even sell our robots to enterprise customers in adversarial markets. We get lots of inquiries about our robots in Russia and China. We don’t ship there, even for our enterprise customers.”

OK, this is kind of funny because A) they're emphatically saying where they definitely draw a line for selling dogs to be used for who-knows-what purpose, and that line is basically the same line that's been loosely drawn by such companies for the last hundreds of years, and B) while trying so hard to fit into this rhetorical template, they also somehow indicate that _non-enterprise customers in adversarial markets_ fit on their side of the line.

"Prepare another shipment of do-whatever-dogs for C.O.B.R.A., Tiny Non-Enterprise, LLC, a Non-profit Dictatorship! Man, I wonder what everybody wants with our robotic dogs...!"

What could go wrong. . .? I, for one, welcome our new robotic dog overlords. . . ;-)

Thankfully these are no match for T-47s equipped with harpoons.
