#2 Aresaâs aim is to plant its GM plant - an altered thale cress - in landmined areas.

I await the inevitable clash between those concerned about finding landmines and such (wasn't the late Princess Diana on a NGO commission of that type?) and the anti-GM crowd as it will expose even further the latter's hypocrisy about ~~self-aggrandizement~~ 'concern' for humankind.

#3 Raj, you forgot the PETA kooks who will be afraid that the red cress might taste better. Millions of people starving in Africa and the Danes decide to improve crops in a way that inadequately addresses another issue.
I saw another article documenting bizarre stuff from Denmark. It is called Danes Investigate Reported Jail Stand-Ins. Maybe they are the Pakistan of Europe.

#4 There is a funnier way of finding mines and unexploded shells. After WWI in France and Belgium from time to time the growth of trees caused their roots to contact the mine and then KABOOM. It also worked for detecting gas shells.

#5 I hope the anti-GM crowd and its anarchist/anti-globalization allies go tramping through the landmines to rip out the cress... thereby finding LOTS of MINES.

Therefore... the GM plants have done their job and a whole load of asshats ... well, you know.

#7 Yes the anti GM crowd will jump on this "FrankenFoods drafted to fight oppresive Wars"

#9 Wanna really scare the bajesus out of the lefties? Talk about escaped bioengineered Kudzu in the produce section of your local market. Lost an elder dawg to the stuff once.

#10 Isn't there a human shield somewhere who should be doing this?
