The Start of Making Cyborgs Real?

The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity wants some help from smart folks who can develop new kinds of optical, biological or brain-based computers.

IARPA also would like some novel ideas on how to secure the transmission of information using optical, electromagnetic, digital packet, chemical or biological signals.

Although this is a dry research proposal published on FedBizOps, it has the ring of a script for a science fiction movie in which the spooks harness brains and bodies to the 'Net in some sort of cyborg fantasy.

Since California Governor (and sometime actor) Arnold Schwarzenegger will soon be out of a job, maybe he'd like the lead.
