    Bugged bugs

    http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2009...d-offer-wi-fi/
    In 2005, the military trained honeybees to sniff out land mines. Then, Darpa’s HI-MEMS program started trying to machinize insects instead. So far researchers have implanted micro-mechanical components into larval moths and created remote-controlled beetles. Those initial HI-MEMS efforts seemed designed for reconnaissance missions - this time, the Pentagon wants its modified bugs to detect and differentiate between chemical agents.
    Kinda reminds me to the opening lines of The A Team, "In 2005, the military trained honeybees to sniff out land mines. ".

    "remote-controlled beetles"
