J. Saf, The prince of Seattle says to forward it to The Man.....under the heading of FYI........(eco-forcast) We are snowed-in here......so I would like very much to take a look at what may be the scoop of the year for this thread......No hype......Just could be the largest single IDX order ever....True...so far we have only a newspaper article....but what a nice article....very factual. Cook County has 143 manicipalities.....Chicago is only one of them. Article says they (except Chicago) are now using "ink and roller". Saloman says county afis costs about $5 million...but the deal is $14 million.......I believe the money for the TP-class machines is in there....Buck-0......I'm a birdwatcher...and this bird may be the bluest of blue......Time will tell....I expect NEC Technologies to announce the deal very soon......If there is one. bg ps. We scooped the Lerach lawsuit by finding a single draft of a court document deep in the Lerach website........Hit the newswires 4 hours later........in an unusual afternoon press release.

J. Saf, I think this is worth another look.....Notice that the deal seems to be $14 million.......and that $10 million is from federal grant money......and that NEC's bid is $9 million. The remaining $5 million for monitoring of convicts at home?......Tenprinters? Mugshots? It is nice to see government coffers overflowing....as this is good for Identix......bad for criminals. Cops to get high-tech help by Mark Brown Cook County Reporter Two major contracts melding law enforcement with the latest in technology were approved Tuesday by the Cook County Board. At the recommendatipon of Sherriff Michael Sheahan, county commissioners chose NEC Technologies of Rolling Meadows, to provide a new computer-aided fingerprinting and mug shot system for the county's suburban police departments. They also selected SecurityLink of Oak Brook to install a new system for home monitoring of criminal defendants. NEC Technologies bid $8.9 million to put in the new electronic fingerprinting system, which is expected to greatly reduce the time it takes to identify suspects with criminal records. The project, which is expected to cost $13 million to $14 million total, is being financed partly with a $10 million federal grant. The countywide computer system is expected to be operating by year-end. It will replace the traditional ink roll method of fingerprinting and allow suburban police to identify criminal suspects in seconds. The current process can take hours or days, occasionally allowing suspects who use aliases to win release on bond before their identities are determined, sheriff's spokesman William Cunningham said. Chicago already has a computerized fingerprinting system. bg
