Steve,

There was a Lockheed commercial on the Peter Jenings News tonight. It was a 30 second spot that showed three people watching (from about 2 miles away) the space shuttle lift off. They were pointing their fingers at it.....then the camera zoomed in on one of the fingers...rotated and enlarged the fingerprint....then lines and connecting dots in bright blue on the ridges and whorls.

The narative said that Lockheed has built the world's largest fingerprint identification system......they can handle it....blah, blah.....

Cool.

So then...I'm watching the big city news from Boise.....Lead story...a day care worker molested a child at a city day care center. Yup...he had a criminal background. The story goes on to discuss the process for day care workers......The only requirement now is a pre-employment screening. For $5.00...they phone two past employers. As an option...a $45.00 full fingerprint search. They showed a TP-600......Identix...big as life.

The point of the story was that there will be a bill sent to the governor very shortly...to require the $45.00 search...And if the governor has a lick of concern for public opinion...he will sign it.

Cool...local...but cool.

Then, Clinton says that day care workers nation wide should undergo background checks to protect America's children. (State of the Union)

Cool...world-wide cool.

All three of these things happened in a 2 hour time span. Identix is getting cheap. watch the Ascom shares. Big boys are doing some advertising. IBM has a commercial also...although I have not seen it yet. I liked the lockheed add...It was only about biometric fingerprinting.
