Doc, from what you've told us about this you are unquestionably guilty
of being a victim.  When I hit the lottery, I want a Bionic Dolphin.

On the other hand, if a BD can cart a person and a hundred pounds of
extra stuff, what has been created is one hell of an interesting
weapon.  I daresay it would work the first couple of times it was
tried. No one on guard duty would be able to interpret properly the
data being provided.  The engine sounds would be loud but not in
the "right" place(s) and the whole idea of a high-speed thing that
was evidenced merely by a wave ... that would not be expected.

Have you sent vidoes of the BD to the FBI and the other departments
that might face the thing?

This part of the story has alwasy interested me.  What was their
reason for hesitating?  Did they ever explain to the FBI?

What's this?  Do you have to tell them when you test?  I wonder if
they'll want to hear about other psubs, too.  I'd be willing to
have a Federal officer in attendance at diving operations.
