#1 Why can't they convert a few KC-10's into cropdusters and just go ape? There must be a reason or they would have done it by now.

#2 MMmmmm, I remember a TV special on just how Opium is Grown, they slit the buds with razors and scrape off the hardened sap a few dys later, that sap is the Opium.

Crop Dusters with weed killer would work, but it's a short range solution, a hundred miles or so range per crop duster, makes it pretty easy to attack the airplane some night and burn it, desperate Farmers would not hesitate to destroy the plane.
