We are actually looking at a lot of different ways to fight terrorism that are not electronic. I’m not often in favor of genetic engineering because it provides a very slippery slope between usefulness and the ability to do harm-but-they are working on a genetically engineered flower that will bloom only in a mine field. (or it blooms a certain color-I’m trying to remember the exact detail. I’ll have to go find the article)
Much as I would hate to see a sea lion or a dolphin die fighting terrorism, I’d rather see that then sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, unclue, aunts, brothers, & sisters. This also seems to fall into that category of could be good or really bad. If we can use dolphins and sea lions to find mines and swimmers, someone else will train them to plant mines and harm swimmers.
