From Undersea Spies: Turning Sharks into Robotic Sentries "It seems like science fiction, but the U.S. military would like to use sharks as underwater spies. The folks at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), who dream up the future of weapons and military systems, envision squads of sharks prowling the oceans with sensors that could transmit evidence of explosives or other threats."
[This, of course, is a Bad Idea™; don't they know that sharks have (a) an intense hatred of being turned into tools, and (b) an incredibly keen sense of revenge?]

I think they are overextended trying to run the Impossible Mission Force.

I can imagine the military asking the President: Can we have the sharks with laser sights now? Please?
They'll certainly be useful in the deserts of Iraq and Afganistan. |

DARPA Funds Remote Control Sharks
It's about time the government does something with my tax dollars that I firmly support! Well, aside from paying my salary, that is.

"You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads! Now evidently my cycloptic colleague informs me that that cannot be done. Ah, would you remind me what I pay you people for, honestly? Throw me a bone here!"-Dr. Evil
