Because of overwhelming demand by the people of the United States, your wish is the government's command:

Billion Dollar Surveillance Blimp to Launch over Maryland
"In just a few days, the Army will launch the first of two massive blimps over Maryland, the last gasp of an 18-year-long $2.8-billion Army project intended to use giant airships to defend against cruise missiles.

And while the blimps may never stave off a barrage of enemy missiles, their ability to spot and track cars, trucks and boats hundreds of miles away is raising serious privacy concerns.
Technically considered aerostats, since they are tethered to mooring stations, these lighter-than-air vehicles will hover at a height of 10,000 feet just off Interstate 95, about 45 miles northeast of Washington, D.C., and about 20 miles from Baltimore. That means they can watch what’s happening from North Carolina to Boston, or an area the size of Texas"

The all seeing eye. It's part of the new World Order which does not exist.

A drone almost hit a commercial plane here the other day.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Will your soldiers win hearts and minds by offering free blimp rides?

Ah, the mega-billion dollar security industry strikes again.

I can imagine that scene in "The Graduate" where the guy whispers into Dustin Hoffman's ear. Today, he would say "security."
