US spy agency spending R422 million on smart ePANTS

The US government is spending $22 million (R422 million) to develop "smart" clothing that can conduct surveillance on the wearer and their surroundings, The Intercept reports.

The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) — the advanced research and development arm of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence — recently announced the project aimed to make performance-grade, computerised clothing a reality.
