Could it be nanobots? I recall reading an article in a science magazine a few years ago that said scientists had finally discovered how a fly is able to get lift (they have 8 wings, and previously scientists couldn't understand how the 8 wings operated together to lift the fly off the ground). They were using that understanding to create mechanical flies which would operate as surveillance cameras, feeding information to the military.
If the US could send mechanical flies into every single home/cave/bunker/whatever, they could get all the info they need to find the terrorists and take them out.
I don't know how this would get people killed, though, if anyone knew about it.
