The perimeter around the city is pretty tight, but they heavily rely on satellites and drones to survaillance the borders, especially the harder to reach/ more outdoor routes. It's between lax and Willie's over-imagination. Naturally there will be enough guards to defend even the hiking trails, but the tanks and gunships are located at the major traffic arteries, though some of the gunships did pass close to where Willie lived the first couple of days to get ready and SUV's scouted the terrain there heavily as well, to ensure that strays wouldn't get out.<br/><br/>Keep in mind though that New Angeles is currently a no-fly zone, so you won't see anything flying overhead anymore. Additionally I think it'd also be realistic that those who have astma have a much easier time breathing, since the smog is now far less then it has been in years. Seems like the apocalypse at least had one good side effect. ;)<br/><br/>Overall defending the city and preventing people from escaping has become easier and easier as the military learns more of their tricks every day and since the number of people trying to get out drastically slowed down.<br/><br/>Does this sound realistic to you all? :)<br/><br/><br/>@Ari, I also like the idea of Carl offering a prayer, it sounds just like what he would do.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=141555.msg6544183#msg6544183">Quote from: wiccaangel311 on 06-07-2012, 03:56:50</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">sorry for my absence work gave me a promotion so with more money and new title....I get more hours though i will do my best to keep up <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Congrats on the promotion Wicca! ;D
