Did anyone see "60 Minutes" on Sunday?  They had a story on the huge
minefields in Kuwait.  They are using highly trained and highly paid
humans to dig them up.  This seems like a perfect job for robots.

Is anyone out there working on this?  The Kuwaities have a lot of money
to throw at this problem and there is a real need for a less hazardous
way of clearing up all the left over war toys.

[By the way, the only thing I know about this is what I heard on 60 minutes]
