[Peace-discuss] Fwd: [notowar.com] NEXT WED. CMU ANTI-WAR SPEAKOUT

[Margaret E. Kosal]

hmmm ... reading the cited Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article (i.e. through a 
heavy commercial media filter/most likely based on press release/no actual 
data), what immediately occurred to me was to co-opt the *proposed* 
technology for integration with land mine detectors, as opposed to using 
women, children or other living creatures.

Warm regards,
Margaret
