a robotic pointer

I get sending in robots when there's a threat to human life, like a live bomb, but inspecting things that are plainly visible and already dead...Are they worried suicide bombers are going to blow up twice?

The bacon haters have a nasty habit of booby trapping dead bodies. Even the dead goats that they once made sweet sweet love to under a star specked arabian night.

The insurgents sometimes place IED's in/under human corpses and animal corpses. Thats why they send a robot first.

So it fits under the first category, minus the 'live' part.
But I still find it a funny mental image to picture insurgents sneaking around hiding explosives under dead things, like a real life Joker vs. Batman episode.

Wonder if they just poke him with that thing.
