Anything that smells.
This tracking probably works better with hippies.
Vincent works as an in-valid, cleaning office spaces including that of Gattaca Aerospace Corporation, a space-flight conglomerate. He gets a chance to pose as a valid by using hair, skin, blood and urine samples from a donor, Jerome Eugene Morrow, who is a former swimming star paralyzed due to a car accident.[5] With Jerome’s genetic makeup, Vincent gains employment at Gattaca, and is assigned to be navigator for an upcoming trip to Saturn’s moon Titan. To keep his identity hidden, Vincent must meticulously groom and scrub down daily to remove his own genetic material, and pass daily DNA scanning and urine tests using Jerome’s samples.
MOST of your “smell” comes from the microbes living on your skin...DUH!
That’s why you stink less if you bathe!
Thanks.
The DNA ID in GATTACA was not supposed to be based on personal microbial DNA, though.
This personal microbiome idea is the novel thing here.
Dogs ARE NOT smelling the microbes we drop, DUH! Otherwise, they could follow someone on a bicycle, but can’t, DOH!
I don’t think the Bacteria App is necessary.
According to Kelly Bundy, a woman can smell another woman on her man.
Won’t work.
Once thieves know about it, they’ll bring outside residue to cover their tracks. Heck, someone will even start manufacturing “anti-tracking biotic residues” for privacy purposes.
OK... so how does a bloodhound do it? Tell different scent traces apart, track them for miles?
Is it a bacterial mix? Or something else?
Let’s ask McGruff the Crime Dog!
IMO, it’s mostly by the scent of your skin cells. YOu can take a shower and use deodorant, and a dog can still follow you. Even if you use anti-bacterial soap and scrub thoroughly. Even if you use bleach. Now, if you’re real stinky because you haven’t showered, I’m sure the dog will be able to pick up on that, too.
Wasn’t there a Tom Cruise movie about this? Or was it Keanu Reeves?
Kind of like a natural “spy dust” from forty years ago. Remember when the Russians would plant some in a person’s apartment and could track them wherever they went by looking for spy dust particles?
I love my microherds.
I am sure there is a trail.
But it goes beyond dreaming to think that anyone could follow it, or get a conviction beyond reasonable doubt.
I remember a few years back a couple college students thought of a great project - to classify and identify all life forms in one cubic centimeter of sea water.
They thought there would be one hundred, maybe two hundred species of bacteria.
Last I heard they were up over 25,000 and still counting!
“Bacteria” to dp0622 - “We like you, Buddy; but please cut
down on splashing on the toilet water after every shower!
We think you smell like Miss Kitty’s bordello!”
How do you know that the DNA of all new born babies isn't being extracted and entered into a govt. database?????
Greetings Ladies and Germs ping.
lol!!!!
He doesn't really care, all he wants to do is fetch, eat and lick his privates.....like all dogs.
