I would love to say this is a good news article but it clearly isnt.
It is very disturbing how fast researchers will turn to the military
these days.
Disturbing? Not really. That's where the money is! If there were
a way I could tie my history thesis to some current fear, getting
grants for research would be a lot easier.
No doubt legislation to curb the civilian use of
submersible vehicles is not far off in intrest of homeland security.
That's part of the problem. I can visualize Federal control of
'submarine licenses,' in a manner similar to the system for
aircraft.
The military has recently geared up its underwater defenses lately,
for what reasons I cant fathom. Though unlikely its very possible
that someone diving a personal submarine could be fired upon by naval
forces as a possible threat to a shipping lane or large port. I have
never heard of terrorists attacking in submarines so I think its all
just a terrible waste of taxpayers money. These new listening subs
coupled with the survelliance drones they want to send flying all
around the US coasts are sure to stop terrorists since they always
come from the sea right?
You can't fight the last war more than once.
