Pentagon trials balloons as bio-chem defence
The United States Department of Defence, the Pentagon, is floating balloons off its roof as part of a test of a new system to protect it against chemical or biological attack.
“It’s an advanced chemical and biological protection system for the Pentagon and its occupants,” Major Rebecca Goodrich Hinton said.
She said three balloons that are each 1.8 metres in diameter will be raised 30 metres over the Pentagon during the test, which is part of a series called ‘Pentagon Shield’.
The balloons will be raised and lowered from four locations on the roof of the Pentagon.
She declined to provide other details about the test, which is being conducted by the Pentagon Force Protection Agency and the Defence Department’s Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Directorate.
– AFPCrikey, Major Rebecca Chip Looking for Mr. Goodrich Paris Hinton we wide brownlanders have been protecting ourselves for years without having to resort to such high tech devices as multi-coloured helium filled condoms.
Becky love, just send us a stamped self addressed envelope and we'll send back by return post an Ossie taxpayer funded alert, alarmed and paranoid fridge magnet with crisis contact numbers and tips on how to spot terrorists at 1000 paces.
