Am I missing something, or is this utterly, hilariously absurd? The Bionic Dolphin is a basically a "toy" in the same basic family as jet skis only way cooler - a little enclosed boat that can dive, right? Well, what are they imagining? A fleet of terrorists in these things, sneaking into a harbor and planting bombs? These people are confusing reality with 007 movies, I think.

How long can it stay underwater before it's little (noisy, I expect) engine runs out of air?

Picture the turban and pointy beard along with a pair of Speedos, on water skis... some bikini-clad babes, a cooler full of Miller Lite, thumping bass coming out of somebody's low-rider custom pickup with tinted windows parked on the beach...)
