max90, You take me wrong..... Iris scaning will not hold up in court.......That is a big factor. Fingerprinting has been tested in the legal system.....the others have not. So what?....OK, let's say that IrisScan is the cat's meow....IDX buys them. Identix has decided to become the top biometric company. IDX bought BAT (a private company) because they had some software and custom applications that IDX felt they could sell world-wide. And any focus on biometrics is great for IDX......The James Bond commercial is great.....Intelligent investors looking into biometrics will end up at Identix........I want Wall Street to do some DD on Identix. IDX is the only biometric pure play. IDX is the only biometric stock institutions would buy. bg ps. I will bet you a cigar that IrisScan is not foolproof......No biometric authentication method is foolproof.

If in fact Randy's professment "it's the software stupid," is the future for IDX, could IDX software/algorithms be used on whatever biometric capture device is wanted by the customer? In other words, I see IDX becoming a broad-based BIOMETRIC solution provider (iris, retina, finger, face, odor, etc), not just a FINGERPRINT solution provider. And how does IDX become this entity? Well, Randy has already begun the process with our earlier acquisitions. A Sensar or Visionics (sp?) acquisition is definitely complementary, rather than supplementary. Whichever way we go, this is getting very interesting. <VBG>
