Sensor Networks for NBC Threats

Nerdsville writes "Planet Analog have an article describing research into a nationwide sensor network that could provide a real-time early-warning system for chemical, biological and nuclear threats across the US. Researchers plan to use microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanotechnology to create accurate biological and chemical sensors. Linked in an Internet-like peer-to-peer network spanning wireless, wired and satellite links."

NBC threats?

[Anonymous Coward]

Like that godawful Will and Grace show?

The only threat from NBC

[curtisk]

is that Friends will continue for many, many years.

Early Warning System already exists

[TrekkieGod]

Nukes give out a big flash of light which will tell you when they've hit. You should then remember to duck and cover. The mushroom cloud should help to warn those outside the range of the flash.

Misread Title

[Flamed to a Crisp]

For some reason, I read the title as Censor NBC Networks for Threat

Like you wanted us to censor the NBC TV network and then blackmail them or something.
