In addition to such familiar activities as measuring bombardment of the moon by solar particles and setting up another seismometer to detect lunar rumbling, the astronauts will leave behind three sophisticated instruments: 1) a magnetometer to take readings of the moon's weak, though detectable magnetic field that may tip off scientists to the moon's internal structure; 2) an ion detector capable of determining the nature of charged electrical particles...

Eventually the U.S. hopes to encourage Mexican agents to use planes equipped with electronic sniffers to detect where marijuana is being grown and then spray the plants with a still-experimental compound that will nauseate users who later smoke the products...
