It was announced today that the British domestic intelligence agency MI5 is to appoint a scientific adviser (a new Q, if you like) who will provide ideas on how to use science and technology to help agents in the field combat terrorism.
The MI5's website requires applicants have "world-class" scientific expertise and communication skills. One would presume that in line with UK law there's an equivalent advert in the job centre.
What he will do precisely, MI5 is keeping secret of course, but they can assure the public that MI5 are no longer using divining rods, phrenology and calculator watches to detect terrorist activities.
