I can just imagine the meeting:

"Johnson, what's your proposal?"
"Well sir, we believe that we can sniff out terrorists, commies, the French, and other bad guys by their smell. Our scientists are already working on the project and results are encouraging."
"What a brilliant idea! We'll be able to smell those bastards from a mile away! Get right on it!"
"Yes sir!"

later...

"Mr. President, we have a new weapon in our war against terrorism: The Smellinator."
"oh yeah... we're gonna git those sum bitches... a kihl kihl!"
