Also, at some DARPA event (unclassified, and in front of journalists, so this story is ok to repeat here) some three star general, talking about infosec, makes analogy to “strategic deployment of stay dogs”:
Suppose:
you do not have enough explosives-detecting sniffer dogs
You do, however, have as many untrained stray dogs as you want
The enemy does not know which kind of dog is which
The principle applies to more than just sniffer dogs at check points.
