Mouse trap

I assume that others read about this sensational new Israeli invention, a trap for revealing terroristss, drug traffickers and other noxious creatures, using mice.

The article appears in Haaretz newspaper:

The mice are trained to sniff out explosives or drugs. Then they're put in a box that looks like a metal detector. When someone carrying drugs or explosives walks past the mice run to the next compartment, which has clean air. (See picture), a light flashes.

Eran Lambroso, an ex-navy officer, one of the developers, told about a successful test that at Azrieli shopping mall.

The system is now being adapted to reveal biological signs of cancer cells.
