What a silly idea, yet interesting.

^ So you find trip-wire detection "silly" eh?
How do you feel about disarming IED's, dodging RPG's?

I wasn't even close to guessing why but found it resourcefull. jdb

I was just making a play on the word "silly" -- as in "silly string."  Didn't mean to offend, as I think disarming IED's and dodging RPG's is a good thing -- however it is accomplished.  Sorry; bad pun.

Can it disarm an IUD too?

Just breaking your balls, figured you were going for a pun or I ould have blasted you.
This last year, I've attended the funerals of too many soldiers coming home for the last time - kinda touchy on the subject.

Now the IUD crack is a different story.
