I thought this was pertinent in light of the problems we're having finding WMD in Iraq, particularly if it is buried versus sent to Syria or Libya.

Trying to figure out what's new about his device. Ground penetrating radar has been around for years. Must be the software?

. . .a humbling investigation. . .and a good point for discovery of WMD. . .wonder if they have even considered this. . .

Whatever happened to the HAARP project which was capable of looking very deep into the earth? I think they used atmospheric heating to create a lens on the order of 30 miles wide they could bounce radar off to look down anywhere they wished.

''I was stunned when I saw this,'' Carr said. ``He produces what appears to be an X-ray movie of what's below the ground. It's like the greatest science fiction film you ever saw. Nothing like this has ever been done in the history of archaeology.''

Well now, perhaps we'll finally be able to find out if any hidden chambers or treasures still exist below the great pyramids and the Sphinx ;-)

Also here over past centuries were a Tequesta burial mound, early Spanish forts, the 19th century Fort Dallas and the Royal Palm Hotel.

Ahhh, yes. The Royal Palm Hotel of the early-20th century era.

Like a CAT scan. Imagine what will be found when the entire surface of the planet is scanned 20 feet deep.

I could use this guy in my backyard. A couple of years ago, a bolt from my lawn mower fell off (one of the ones that holds the handle together) and it's been missing ever since. Really annoys the heck out of me. For now, I have a regular bolt with a nut holding the handle in place but I cannot put the plastic wing nut on it because it doesn't thread right. I think it's a different size. So now I must suffer with the nut and bolt (requiring tools to get it apart) until either I find the bolt or I get a new lawn mower.

An MRI for ground scanning. It will be helpful.
