You might remember a few weeks ago, this blog offered the solution to the Hezbollah-Israeli conflict using Web 2.0 applications like Flickr and Technorati. It is unfortunate that senior policy makers have not seen the wisdom offered in that post.

Yesterday’s security scare accents the necessity for such Web2 companies even more. Of course the question raised by many bloggers is how Gatorade can be detonated by iPods and indeed, it is a good question. It seems like food products would be the likely candidate in a war against such terrorism. Fight fire with fire, right?

Wyaworks has created a product, WyaCracker which could possibly hold the solution. Though it’s not thought that the name was meant as any kind of denigration against a particular people group, it is thought that the key to this is the cracker itself. Supplemental products might be needed to hold the terrorists at bay. WyaCheese, WyaWine or perhaps WyaShrimpOnTheBarbie. These products, while diverse in their scope, would serve to distract terrorists from getting on airplanes, instead using the excuse for a backyard barbecue as a diversion.

Then there is the social network 3Bubbles. 3Bubbles is innovative for the national security mechanism not because of its ability to allow people to interact more directly with each other, but because bubbles contain air – an absence of liquid which is not allowed on planes. By allowing 3Bubbles to escape, the pressure in an airline cabin is increased thereby forcing liquid out. It is concievable that 4Bubbles, 5Bubbles or even 10 or 100Bubbles might do a better job but we’ll save those companies for Web 3.0.

Neither of these companies were available for comment.
