I think that should be “a swooping SRPA or tracking-device-laden paint ball probably wouldn’t be unobtrusive enough”

“So who knows, maybe they can soup it up to poop out tiny tracking devices disguised as bird guano.”

Hmm, this kind of reminds me of… Acoustic Kitties!

“The first cat mission was eavesdropping on two men in a park outside the Soviet compound on Wisconsin Avenue in Washington, D.C. The cat was released nearby, but was hit and killed by a taxi almost immediately. Shortly thereafter the project was considered a failure and declared to be a total loss.”

I saw a black helicopter today. It flew pretty low over the campus. Maybe I’ll go take a shower.

The most likely methodology would be micro-spheres (the dust) enclosing radioactive material (the tag). Voila!
Using an element with a relatively short half-life would be most useful since the dust is going to blow around and scatter. Radioactive elements give off gamma rays (thus the expression:”Electromagnetic”). Off-the-shelf Gamma ray camera’s are easily available, for targeting purposes.
A basic merging of nuclear medicine, astronomy and our leader’s dogged dedication to killing presumed bad guys . . . Or whoever.

I am sure it’s that simple.
