Small video and audio transmitters stuffed into what looks like mundane Mideast street trash, i. e. food wrappers, pieces of rubber painted to look like asphalt and rickrack would be packed cluster bomb style to eavesdrop on Hezbollah infested neighborhoods.
This would be particularly vexing to rocket launchers because they would never know if the Israelis knew there were children in the area. Moreover, denouncing camlet bombs would have very little PR value. ("Those Zionists pigs are trying to protect civilians!")
The "trash" would be just nerfy enough to provide for a low enough terminal velocity and a soft enough impact to protect most of the transmitters.
The real work on this project would be to determine the top 200 types of street trash and then make sure all 200 types have a more or less pro rata representation.
I'm a great supporter of the 4th Amendment. Under no circumstances should listening devices be deployed in, say, the current U. S. "war on terror" when terrorists attack at most only once every few years. But everything is relative. Saving civilian lives in time of an ongoing war, i. e. when rockets are being launched more than several times a day, trumps the 4th.
