Well, apart from the whole extreme concept, i hate to think what sorts of animal testing they are going to do on this .

Yeah, all we're asking for is sharks, with fricking laser beams attatched to their heads... :blush:

(god I hate that movie)

Seriously though, I think the US leaks bullshit ideas like this every once in a while to try and intimidate other countries--an old habit left over from the cold war...

...or the schoolyard, perhaps.

"The Pentagon's defence scientists want to create an army of cyber-insects that can be remotely controlled to check out explosives and send transmissions."

Geez, is the US like becomming some evil comic book character organisation? Sounds more like concept out of a batman comic :relief: .
