Sensors are still some time away from actual mass fabrication and use. Current smartsensor prototypes, such as the Berkeley Renee Mote, have a larger footprint and are generally restricted to the following sensor types: accelerometers, microphones, light, motion and magnetometers. We envision a design inclusive of these sensors types; however, our proposed application assumes a (not so) futuristic scenario that include sensors that test for nitrates (explosives), chemical toxins, biological toxins and radiation. For example, sensors testing for motion and sound would be placed on rooftops, which provide an assailant(s) with a vantage point. Sensors testing for radiation would be placed in areas frequented by the.
