China body-searched 10,000 pigeons


BEIJING (AP) — The 10,000 pigeons released in a ceremony Wednesday for China's National Day underwent unusual scrutiny, Beijing domestic security police officer Guo Chunwei was quoted in the Jinghua Times as saying workers checked the wings, legs and anus of each pigeon ahead of time to ensure they were "not carrying suspicious material." The entire process was videotaped, and the birds were then loaded into sealed vehicles for the trip to Tiananmen Square, the newspaper said.

Talk about paranoid.

I did see where back in WW2, the US experimented with a bat bomb, where incendiary devices would be attached to bats, they would be dropped by parachute in a large device that would open at a set altitude. The bats would roost in the buildings of the targeted town, their little fire bombs go off and burn the town.

I guess 10,000 pigeons could collectively do some damage. maybe.
