The "Gay Bomb" is a theoretical non-lethal weapon that had been considered for production by the U.S. Air Force. It would disrupt enemy troop activity by bathing soldiers in pheromones that would incite homosexual activity. The Pentagon confirmed that the project existed, but denies that any serious research went into it.BBC: [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/4174519.stm US military pondered love not war (January 15, 2005)

The documents include proposals for other non-lethal weapons that are similarly as unorthodox as the Gay Bomb. One would attract rats or swarms of bees or wasps. Others would make the skin unbearably sensitive to sunlight, spread severe halitosis so enemy troops could be identified when attempting to hide in a crowd, or simulate flatulence amongst enemy troops.

"It's important to point out that only those proposals which are deemed appropriate, based on stringent human effects, legal, and international treaty reviews are considered for development or acquisition."BBC: [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/4174519.stm US military pondered love not war (January 15, 2005) -Pentagon Official, Capt.
