The New Predator?

Is this a neat news story or is it something for PETA to get uptight about?

Scientists at a Georgia laboratory have developed what could be a low-tech, low-cost weapon in the war on terrorism: trained wasps.

The tiny, non-stinging wasps can check for hidden explosives at airports and monitor for toxins in subway tunnels.

I vote for it’s being a neat news story.

But what’s with the headline I chose?

Well, you surely know about the Predator used by the the US military. At first it was just a remotely-controlled, air-borne, real-time, surveillance platform. Then someone got the bright idea of adding “rocket-shooting” to that description.

These wasps are presently non-stinging, right? How soon till someone gets zapped with the bright idea of taking out the “non-” part of that description?

Just a thought. A real zinger, in fact.

I understand if you don’t want to associate with a guy that was expelled from his high school 😉 Just joking! On a more serious note, I do want to express to you my appreciation for the time that we had together in high school. You have no idea how far your reach goes. You taught me alot of things that I use today. And they weren’t all just from work books either! Well, the offer still stands, e-mail me anytime!! Talk to you later.
