Bionic Bugs To Fight Terrorists
dptalia writes "Israel is looking to create a small robot, no larger than a hornet to follow, film, and kill terrorists. It's just one of a series of weapons the country is considering as an alternative to conventional technologies. Other ideas floating around include gloves that would give their user 'bionic strength', and ultra-miniaturized sensors to detect explosives on suicide bombers." From the article: "The research integrates nanotechnology into Israel's security department and will find creative solutions to problems the army has been unable to address, Deputy Prime Minister Shimon Peres told Yedioth Ahronoth. 'The war in Lebanon proved that we need smaller weaponry. It's illogical to send a plane worth $100 million against a suicidal terrorist. So we are building futuristic weapons,' Peres said."
All, excelent, in a decade we will have cylons. Anything for freedom!

Maybe it's just me, but that sentence makes it sound like we're running terrorists over with our jets. Teehee
... what's Hebrew for "Skynet"?
The correlation between ignorance of statistics and using "correlation is not causation" as an argument is close to 1.
As if the world's oppressed peoples didn't have enough to deal with, now they've got to look over their shoulders for paparazzi hornet-bots and Lee Majors in a Nintendo Power Glove as well? What next, motherfXckin' snakes?

Wouldn't it be easier to call on God to deliver a plague of locusts? Worked for Moses.

Does a line appended to your comment give your post meaning in and of itself, or only in relation to those without?
The stone and slingshot. David used it successfully against Goliath.

"We in Canada are paying reparations for a government imposed head tax on Chinese immigrants back in the 20s, this is pretty reasonable"
Don't knock the Chinese head-tax. It kept the numbers of two- or three- headed Chinese to a minimum, didnt it?
Where were you when the voynix came?
