The city of Austin will be using Homeland Security funds to buy a robotic bomb detector. John Bush says the maker of the device, Northrup-Grumman is a war-profiteer and urged the city council to vote against the measure. Council approved buying the robot - which Mayor Pro Tem Mike Martinez says is necessary for police safety. Martinez says it would be better to have a machine do the initial inspection instead.
