NASA technology may help bioterror fight

NASA technology may help bioterror fight: "Technology developed at NASA to guard against Earth-bound infections during space exploration may be used in finding ways to counter bioterrorism, new research indicated.
Los Angeles-based Universal Detection Technology is acting upon a Department of Homeland Security request for a research proposal aimed at detecting and containing harmful bioagents, such as anthrax, that can be used as bioterrorism weapons, the company announced.
Universal Detection Technology is a developer of early-warning monitoring technologies to protect people from bioterrorism and other infectious health threats."
