Double O Jaws

According to reports, the Pentagon is actually "mulling" the possibility of using sharks as spies. The British publication New Scientist, believes that a sharks natural ability to glide silently through water and detect chemical signals from miles away has had DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) shell out money to develop technology to put electrodal implants in the sharks to control them. God knows how much money is being spent on that.

But hey, according to the same article, the New York Police Department looks to employ mice that can find explosives and RDX.

Maybe we can have them patrol United States ports if the deal goes through. But what if we have a" U-2" type incident when some nation captures sharks with implanted electrodes? God forbid. Might as well attach "frickin lasers to their heads" (a la Austin Powers)....

But jeez, come on! "mulling", really? are you serious???
