Shaun Saunders points us towards a Wired 'Danger Room' blog entry concerning a Pentagon advisory committee that is worried that terrorist organizations may be raising the threat level by gaining new abilities. The Pentagon's most prestigious scientific advisory panel, JASON, are the ones worried about the enemy's activities in sleep research, neuro-pharmaceutical performance enhancement, and "brain-computer interfaces."
