Zombie Glue! It sticks to the undead like bad smell on... well, the undead!

I have to admit that using unwilling people as bait disturbs me more than a little. This would assume that the living have descended to a point where they are no longer any better than what they are fighting against.
Willing voluntary bait that is well armed as Solitaire1 suggested I don't really have a problem with though.
It might also be helpful at this point to start identifying different levels of zombie outbreaks. If the outbreak can be caught and met with decisive levels of force while it is still relatively small there is really no reason to believe that it will escalate into the full blown Zombie Apocalypse. Among these levels of force nuclear response would have its place when dealing with concentrated large outbreaks such as cities and any Newts would just have to be sacrificed.
If we are aware that there is a possibility of the undead running amok then we can plan for it. If on the other hand the only people talking seriously about response to such an event are a handful of people on a public forum then we truly are screwed and the ZA will be upon us shortly after Zombie Zero takes a bite of its first unsuspecting victim.
So after much discussion of surrounding issues the three laws seem to stand as written except number one. Which might be modified to read something like this.
1) A zombie shall seek out living members of its original species for the purposes of devouring them and as a side effect propagation.
------------ Original Laws ------------
1) A zombie shall seek out brains from living members of its original species. [Thanks to Solitaire1.]
2) A zombie shall not eat another zombie. [Me.]
3) A zombie shall act in complete disregard of all circumstances while relentlessly focused upon pursuing its objective as stated in the First Law. [Thanks to jinlo.]
