I dont know if anyone has seen the film In The Line Of Fire before? 'Wet Boys' was the name of CIA asassins. (just incase you were looking at the topic title and thinking huh? wink )
Here's a story I trawled from Coast to Coast AM website.......
The Observer is reporting that in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina a story has emerged that armed dolphins trained by the US military to shoot terrorists and pinpoint spies underwater maybe missing in the Gulf Of Mexico...... shock
36 dolphins could be carrying poison dart guns........ shock
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water??? shock wink

I doubt very much that IF they did escape that they would have had the darts on them at the time and that they wouldnt come right back home.
Why would they suddenly go rogue just because they got out.
Mountain out of molehill if you ask me
You underestimate Snorky and the rest of the US Navy Seals Wendl wink
I have been to the dolphin training base in San Diego. I don't underestimate anything about the US military. I have been a military spouse too long for that.
These dolphins are so HIGHLY trained I just don't see them swimming around killing people just because they got lose from their pens, IF they in fact did.
Ive been to the West Midlands Safari Park but that doesnt make me Johnny Morris? :wink:
There maybe some concern out there...
From The Observer......
The mystery surfaced when a separate group of dolphins was washed from a commercial oceanarium on the Mississippi coast during Katrina. Eight were found with the navy's help, but the dolphins were not returned until US navy scientists had examined them.
If Snorky and his dolphin crew have been trained to kill men with long hair and facial hair they might just wipe out all the surfers in and around the gulf coast :mrgreen:

Like Wendy says, I doubt they would have been "armed", even if they were swept away.
We'll never know unless a dead diver or surfer washes up on a beach in the future and the military don't get there first.
What if they declare war on the killer whales? wink
And even worse still what if they make a film out of it with Matt Damon?
"The Bourne Aquarium.........." roll lol
"Day of the Dolphin" with George C. Scott was about two scientists who train dolphins (called Alpha and Beta) to speak basic English but then have a change of mind when they find out that the US Navy funding them are going to use them as assasins, attaching mines to yachts and other ships.
I think that was an early '70's sci-fi movie but not a bad prediction.
Yeah I see that film too, many moons ago.
Wasnt the master criminal in it called Dan Marino? wink
I have an update from MSNBC.......
All dolphins have been accounted for!! Surfers or terrorists can swim in the gulf coast with no worries mrgreen
Fair play to Wendl, she was absolutely spot on!! 8)
The Observer did make a mountain out of molehill, or a clam out of a barnacle? roll
I was so preoccupied with Snorky from The Simpsons I forgot all about the 'Sharks with fricking laser beams attatched to their heads' gag from Austin Powers wink
