1,000 Ants Fitted With Tiny Radio Recievers
Researchers from the University of York are fitting one thousand
northern hairy wood ants with tiny radio receivers in a world first
experiment at the National Trust's Longshaw Estate in Derbyshire to find
out how they communicate and travel between their complex nests.

I can imagine all the ants laughing at a tagged ant as he describes being captured by a massive creature and experimented on.

@danny777 Not just the queen but other ants too. They are very conformist and any one that is different will be killed. I'm not 100% sure but pretty damn sure this is what will happen. Plus we don't know how sensitive ants are to radio waves and these might disrupt their normal way of life. The young bloke looked pretty stupid to me and his relationship to the older one is suspicious.

So they'll know where ants go,but the goverment have no idea where illegal immigrants dissapear to once caught and released? Perhaps the immigration dept ought to be employing these people!

How dare you compare those fun-loving, hard-working, freedom-seeking yet law-abiding people of color to our south to mere ants?
Step away from the keyboard and get in the van. It's the re-education camp for you!

Yea , How dare you compare those fun loving , hard working , freedom seeking yet law-abiding ants of color to our south of the border immigrants?

The solution is easy. Inject those tags under the skin of every immigrant. Then just scan everyone, all the time. Not just at the borders, but on the streets, in restrooms, at the cinema, etc.
But do you really want to live in a society that does that shit to people?

I can't disagree. The Mexican invasion is causing gigantic, long-term harm.

Ok, here we go:
(1) Design a tag that can control the ant and has a camera that can transmit video,
(2), Figure out a way to tag many ants quickly, then,
(3), Dream up all kinds of diabolical applications.
What could go wrong? Count me in!

RFID tags, not radio receivers. Cool stuff.

A receiver receives.
A transmitter transmits.
Those were RFID or transmitters.
Duhhh.
