The Army has developed fancy robots to examine roadside debris in Iraq to see if they are IED's (bombs) or just rubbish. But these robots are expensive, and convoys have to wait for specialists to bring them to the suspected device.
So one soldier uses toy trucks to do an exam...if the toy truck can push over the rubbish, it's probably not a bomb. If the rubbish is heavier than expected, they call backup for the expensive robot and bomb disposal...
The article jokes that, instead of buying them at Radioshack for 60 bucks, someone should put a few fancy bells and whistles on them and sell them to the Defense department for 1000 dollars a piece.
Sound ok to me.
