lol, looking around on the site, the creator has a lot of idle time on his/their hands huh?

But the use for silly string is kinda cool :thumbsup:
 
The british use stuff like that too to detect IRA bombs in houses. They use a metal fiber optic wand that glows orange. The wand is only a few strands but it helps their eyes focus and detect trip wires.
 
Gonna send that to my little brother. He's headed to Iraq at the beginning of next year.

Necessity is the mother of invention. 🙂

I used it about 8 yrs ago for the same purpose, our EOD instructors told us about it. so for our final exercise I brought a couple cans, it made finding tripwires very easy. but not very tactical. and you shouldn't learn to rely on it.
