Indeed, but i think we'd all prefer to develop one ourselves rather than pay $3000 for it :) On 2/9/07, Acadia Secure Networks <acadiasecurenets at aol.com> wrote: > > K, > > you are right.

I think the price tag is high, but it sounds like they have put togeher a good product and if they provide good support as well, then people will definitely pay for convenience. I cannot off the top of my head think of its uses for law enforcement, but I am sure they exist. > > I do not agree with not making the device public.
