    A very unusual detection device.

    Silly String (TM) to detect bomb trip wires.

    I saw this on the news quite a while back. A mother of a soldier in Iraq has started a campaign to send cases of silly string to help aid in finding trip wires. Whoda thunk such a silly toy would turn out to be a real lifesaver.

    I read about this woman in the news - and at first I just didn't get it - thinking "silly string" and imagining all these guys shooting off the cans at each other?

    WHAT??

    And then I read what it was for and thought OMG!!

    She went through hell to get it shipped - but she did it. Good for her!
