The US government is hoping to use the wired up insects to sniff out minute residues of explosives and lead them to bomb factories and landmines.

Yeah !! I read all about it. All I could think about while reading it was that those pocket stuffing cretins have figured out another way to pocket our tax $$$ and make it look like they spent it on something. Dogs I can undestand, but when's the last time you saw a bee heel, sit, or do anything on command,...like the said in the movie independence day. "Ya think they really pay $45,000 for a hammer or $15,000 for a toilet seat?"
