Has anyone thought about sending Ferrets in to look for survivors? We hear about air spaces that we can't get to yet and tapping sounds, why not strap tiny cameras, microphones, speakers, transponders - whatever to some Ferrets, and let them explore their way down the wreckage? We all know they are magicians at getting into tiny impossible places. They can be our eyes and ears, we can track their location and if a victim is nearby we could communicate with them too.

(but I don't believe everyone else has to agree). I briefly discussed the idea with another FMLer who had a similar idea. The images in my mind were quite funny though -- like ferrets would find the flight recorders in two minutes but they'd drag them off to a hidey hole where they'd never be found again. Or the ferrets would do a war dance after finding them, causing more buildings to collapse. Just a sample. BIG] [Posted in FML issue 3542]
