The cost would be negligible really. The bracelets could be mass produced for pennies in all the required sizes, the scanners would be very similar to the wands they use at airports ( with a cell phone link ), and our Military already has all the computing power required in country. Half a dozen geeks in a trailer in the Green Zone could monitor the system requests country-wide. The big impact would be that the "..word.." could be spread around that the system was even more sophisticated than it really was. That should give the 'wacko's' an extra racing-stripe or two in their bedsheets. Combining the existing infrared detectors in helicopters with a pulse-read scanner antenna - and you'd know if a warm body hding under a bush was bracelet equipped - or not. John :-) ps: We used RF tags on the bumpers of trucks at the Ford Truck Plant in Norfolk to track where the units were and what paint line they went to and/or the color that got applied. Very simple really. .
