Ah yes, but given 300 years, can we not imagine fast acting biologic 
agents? (Counter point, would I then spray the ground with a mist of 
explosive chemical to make it real hard to tell where my mines are, 
or seed the area with a counter biologic agent....)

Here's another one: We have grav tech. Why not put a 'grav flail' on 
the front of a mine clearing tank or hover platform that extends a 
distance in front of the vehicle (to protect the vehicle) and 
generates a very heavy gravitational field such that any mine it 
passes over would think it was being run over by an ogre, and would 
hence go off. Mine clearing using new technology.....
