The intersection of high-tech and practical low cost solutions: Rat ranching for explosives.
It would be interesting to see these critters deployed at the border or in NYC and Chicago.

If only they could train lawyers to do this, people wouldn’t be as upset when a land mine killed a critter sniffing for it.

I always thought that marching a flock of sheep across the suspected area would be effective. Think of the visual. It would be a Monty Python skit come alive.

In Africa they do the same thing for initial detection of tuberculosis.
the patients all call cough onto a growth medium plate and in a couple days the rat races is by all of the plates lined up in a single-file.
The rat stops when it smells a positive plate.

They’re already there. Rats have been in those cities for years. There’s the Clinton packs in New York. And the Obama packs in Chicago. Both have infested the world.

“Rats?
Send Pelosi and Schumer. Tell them it’s Dancing With the Stars and that they are to do a jitterbug in every minefield.

The Muslims just drive herds of goats and camels across minefields. It works just dandy for anti-personel mines.

These are not kitchen rats, but African giant pouched rats, also known as Gambian pouched rats, about 2 feet long from head to tail. That is a big rat!
My wife would faint.
