Friend, no friend, or even a foe??

Not so long ago, it was simple to determine a friend or a foe. Today, there's a turn of a friendly card (see song below). "Identification, friend or foe (IFF) is a combat identification system designed for command and control. It uses a transponder that listens for an interrogation signal and then sends...
