First we had bees as mine detectors then came the ratbots and now the spyfly-report on CNN gets slashdotted. These are just small pieces in a bigger puzzle, obviously released one after the other. To get the larger picture at once, you have to go to the DARPA site about the Controlled biological systems and see, what will be promoted next...

the rats are just a byproduct of a DARPA-program that's called Development of Biomimetic Robots and Sensors Using Hybrid Brain-Machine Technology, which in turn is just part of something called "Controlled Biological Systems". the mother of it all is the "Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) Defense Sciences Office (DSO)".
