Greg, RE rights grabbing - how do you mean? I don't have a cell camera. Are the pics JPEG's or what? Once they are sent does the phone company claim rights to them in their fine print? RE security, it seems to me that a computer could screen a few million pics a minute to identify "sensitive" subjects and would be more useful than verbal phone chatter. Also, did you ever wonder what constitutes the "suspicious" behavior we're supposed to be watching for? Did anyone watch the SON speech? :-) AZ Build a Lookaround! The Lookaround Book, 4Th ed.
