Thanks for posting this, I saw it yesterday and got caught up in other things...
A couple of possible military applications:
1) Load up the pigeons with bird flu, fly 'em into Taiwan.
2) Practice for retrofitting some of those 100-odd million young unattached Chinese men for combat; can you override the voluntary muscle commands? "No retreat" would become more than a buzzword.
No cheers, unfortunately.

No, much simpler. Say, you are there and attract unwanted attention, but handling you in the usual way could be inconvenient [bad publicity and all that]. OK. So armies of pigeons will be homed in to relieve themselves on, and around, you during all the daylight hours. And how long will you last?

Exposed foreign bodies seem more so, with a shorter expiration date as per your pic. The market for shotguns might be interesting. Ditto signal jamming. It's too late to ping this article. Please, don't let me forget.

Mind-numbed flying robots. Of course it doesn't take much to numb a pigeon's mind.
