Don't police dogs regularly screen for explosives at large events, shipping terminals, bus depots, train stations, and airports?

There's definitely an interdependancy there, but don't discount the incredible complexity of some cool civilan tech: James Webb Space Telescope, Mars rovers, ISS, the old Space Shuttle. Even mundane things like ocean-based oil rigs are chock full of amazing engineering.

Exactly. The use of "female" is clinical in that context. It's meant to be sterile, emotionless, professional, and adequately descriptive.

They are spotlights, usually used for peering into dimly lit alleys and things like that while driving slowly by.

Except one group was clearly attacked and murdered based on unfounded racist fear and nationalism eager for "others" to feed the fascist machine, and the other group willingly chose to abandon critical thinking and defy the recommendations of the medical science community doing its level best to fight a novel and deadly contagion. The Jews were "asked" to wear yellow stars and rounded up because of who they were. That was indefensible. The Communists were rounded up because they were political opponents of the NSDAP. That was indefensible. Modern citizens across the world were required or asked to wear masks, observe a larger personal space bubble, and quarantine for the safety of everyone by governments large and small across the world in an effort to protect everyone from a virus that doesn't know or care about the political leanings of its victims. Individuals willingly defiant of such measures intentionally and recklessly put everyone's health and safety at risk, to deadly effect in some cases. That is indefensible.
