A bomb disposal technician, a suspicious bag, a soldier,
 two security dogs, a suicide bomber, his wheelchair 
bound wife and his daughter have to cross a river. They have discovered
 a small boat. The small boat can carry only two people or one 
person and one dog or item at a time. The suspicious bag cannot
 be left with anybody unless the bomb disposal technician is 
present. The suicide bomber cannot be left with any of the dogs 
unless the soldier is present. The soldier cannot be left with any of
 the suicide bomber’s family members unless the suicide bomber 
is present. Only the soldier, suicide bomber, and bomb disposal 
technician know how to use the boat. How would they cross the river?
