   I would have guessed that in BLM vs USAF,   
   the Air Force would prevail.   
      
   Out of curiosity, does anyone know -   
   When Norio and the others had the "near miss" with   
   the Alamo contractor driving into the range on GLR, the   
   story goes that the BLM ranger was there and witnessed   
   the event, or maybe was nearly hit himself.   
      
   Did the Federal officer pursue the offender over the   
   border? Does the "hot pursuit" doctrine apply in this   
   case (a likely misdemeanor federal offense).
