TMT's question deteriorated into a [somewhat interesting] political
discussion, but the question as to what to do techically about IEDs is
a very interesting question and very much on topic of this
newsgroup. Perhaps, in this sub-thread, we could post our own thoughts
as to what could be done to reduce the threat of IEDs.


OK I'll bite , What if you sprayed some kind of dye on the roadside every
few days. something that colors the ground, it would alert you to fresh
digging so you get a better idea of where to focus. you could have
different colors or types (dyes that only show up with IR light ect.) and
rotate there use to deter false application. It won't stop the planting of
the IED's but it might alert you to them and reduce damage.

Let the fray begin
