'The War on Terror' is pretty much an everyday phrase and many of us glaze over when we hear it. But here's an interesting tidbit: The government has researchers looking into the development of a Human Scent Collector. The device will be used to collect human scent from suspected terrorists which can then be stored and used to track the suspect.
Implications - The idea comes from the Technical Support Working Group (TSWG) who is trying to make this possible. There are existing technology similar to what this project is trying to be achieved; however, it's claimed to be too large and fragile in an operational environment. The plan is to make a handheld device so that portability isn't an issue.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Human Scent Collection
- Developing a handheld device for collecting human scent opens up opportunities for improved tracking and surveillance techniques.
- Terrorist Tracking
- Creating a technology to collect and store human scent for tracking purposes can revolutionize law enforcement and counter-terrorism efforts.
- Portable Scent Analysis
- Advancements in portable scent analysis devices offer potential for efficient and accurate identification of suspects in criminal investigations.
Sectors Adopting This
- Law Enforcement
- Implementation of a handheld human scent collector in law enforcement agencies can enhance their ability to track and apprehend suspects.
- Counter-terrorism
- Integrating scent collection technology into counter-terrorism strategies empowers security forces to identify and locate potential threats more effectively.
- Forensic Science
- The development of portable scent analysis devices presents opportunities for forensic scientists to enhance their investigative capabilities and solve crimes more efficiently.
