Spraying deadly chemical agents is very dangerous. We've forgotten the Moscow hostage crisis:

Dealing with hostage situations is more tricky than it appears in movies. Let the security forces handle this the best way they see fit.

Me thinks it is time we got ideas from nature.
We can develop small mimiature machines to mimick the bees, wasps e.t.c
We have them loaded with cameras and remote control. Develop a sting capability
to hold any chemical including a dose of Cyanide.
In case of westgate, we would have released 1000 of them inside (like bees).
From outside we guide them to the targets. Once a target is identified, a sting is delivered
Do you think this would be viable? Am considering it for my phd thesis.

Subject: [Skunkworks] IT role in the #Westgate Attack

Would like to appreciate all the Sys Admins out there who have kept the country connected, in as much as they are doing their job. Kudos.
 
To creative movie going techies, is there another way this situation can be helped? I am getting nervous with every passing minute. I am told it's a military strategy to wear down the terrorists but we do have injured hostages.
 
Would jamming the network around that area do? Is there possibility the gang are communicating with the outside world and can we cut that off?
 
Do we have thermal cameras to detect the positions of the hooligans?
 
3D artists to assist in visualizing the building schematics?
 
What can the IT community do to help? Of course in addition to what we have done and are still doing?
