I saw a UK TV prog a few years ago about the development of a malodorant (bad smell) crowd control weapon:

In the prog the UK presenter tested out essence of skunk on himself and stood in a shopping plaza. Surprisingly not all were disgusted (there's a surprisingly high proportion of people who don't mind the smell). The prog also featured the obvious, and well rotted African savanah carcass attractive only to vultures and hyenas. In the end the presenter put on a helmet into which was fed the cocktail of smells (as secret as anything from Estee Lauda). He sweated, went cold, felt nauseous and couldn't stand too long.

PS the prog pointed out that a hyena's constitution, never mind putting up with the above, is actually proof to anthrax, for Godssakes!

Very good! :-)
