The new arms control treaties use science to oversee the end of the Cold War and to check on cheating. It's the verification game: how do you give a tank a fingerprint so unique that it cannot be forged? And where does the line lie between checking and spying? From American soldiers, deep inside Russia,
X-raying Soviet missiles in the snow, to private firms offering new technologies on the open market, Horizon investigates this new growth industry, and how it could bring peace to the world's trouble spots, or more accurate means of attack.
