My concern is what will the rats do when there is an explosion nearby.
Most
animals are spooked by explosions, etc. So what will the
semi-controlled
rats do? Follow commands or bolt and run? I suppose you could brain
wash
the rats to ignore explosions. Then you would have semi-controlled
brain
washed rats running with camera's and bombs strapped to their backs...
