Stealth sharks

New Scientist Premium- Stealth sharks to patrol the high seas - Technology:

"IMAGINE getting inside the mind of a shark: swimming silently through the ocean, sensing faint electrical fields, homing in on the trace of a scent, and navigating through the featureless depths for hour after hour. We may soon be able to do just that via electrical probes in the shark's brain. Engineers funded by the US military have created a neural implant designed to enable a shark's brain signals to be manipulated remotely, controlling the animal's movements, and perhaps even decoding what it is feeling. "

"You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads". - Dr. Evil
