Hummmmmm...this is interesting if only because landmines are such a problem for civilians after the primary conflict has ended. Sir Richard has always been an fascinating character...and if he has in fact developed such a technology, he may have done some real and positive good in the world.

And the US won't be so pressured to sign the Landmine Convention as an added benifit.
