Okay, thanks for the Jaws flashback....but show me the way to go home.

Seriously, though: this sucks. The more whacked-out creatures-as-weapons research we do, the more these animals will not be seen as 'innocent'. Several shark species have already become enadangered. Any coastal foreign power suspecting it's being 'spied on' by such a program, in a period of escslating tensions, institutes a bounty on shark heads--impoverished fishermen go ape and sharks go extinct. Fun for the whole ecosystem.

Also: As a suba diver, I've gotta say this does NOT make feel safer.... I'm already on the lookout for Flipper, the DARPA dart-playing dolphin.
