O boy, a gadget that will let you know that in three minutes you will be dead. It used to take twenty minutes to tell if you had been exposed to anthrax or smallpox. Now the Panther, can detect and ID the deadly pathogens in just enough time for you to listen to one last song on your iPod.  The new device, called PANTHER (for PAthogen Notification for THreatening Environmental Releases), represents a "significant advance" over any other sensor, said James Harper of Lincoln Lab's Biosensor and Molecular Technologies Group. Current sensors take at least 20 minutes to detect harmful bacteria or viruses in the air, but the PANTHER sensors can do detection and identification in less than 3 minutes.
