11/05/05 - Military applications for "Silly String"

"Rob has just posted some correspondence with a former Marine Sargeant 
who describes how the stuff is used in the field:

"Silly string has served me well in Combat especially in looking for 
I.A.Ds., simply put, booby traps. . . . When you spray the string it 
just spreads everywhere and when it sets it lays right on the wire. Even 
in a dark room the string stands out revealing the trip wire."
