Pentagon developing cyborg bugs.

The Pentagon's defense scientists want to create an army of cyber-insects that can be remotely controlled to check out explosives and send transmissions.
The idea is to insert micro-systems at the pupa stage, when the insects can integrate them into their body, so they can be remotely controlled later.
This is the latest brainstorm from DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which has a budget of $2 billion, and a mandate to keep US military technology ahead of rivals.

Well, now we know where some of the budget's $8 trillion is going.
