Oh, but it gets better. . .

Indeed, a "Who? Me?" device had been under consideration since 1945, the government papers say.

However, researchers concluded that the premise for such a device was fatally flawed because "people in many areas of the world do not find faecal odour offensive, since they smell it on a regular basis".

I'd love to see my tax dollars developing stuff like that. Awesome.
Come to think of it, it'd also shut some hippies up, too! "Make love, not war!" turns into "Make love at war!"
