steve - This is a follow up to the article I posted the other day. I'm assuming it's IDX biometrics but someone else's make-it-into-a-card machine. Anyone? Jean P.S. I'll reveal the secret card trick answer if you beg me, send money, or provide a hot stock tip. Preferably all three. Cheers.

DREXLER TECHNOLOGY CORP (DRXR) appears to be providing cards to the INS but do not manufacture the machines. Their price dropped 9% when this story was released. sec.yahoo.com For the fiscal 1998 first nine months, the Company sold nearly 1.6 million optical memory cards compared with about 300,000 cards for last year's first nine months. The increase in sales of optical memory cards resulted primarily from U.S. government orders totalling 4 million optical memory cards. Of these, approximately 1.2 million cards were delivered during the first nine months of fiscal 1998 to the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). Deliveries under U.S. government orders are expected to average approximately 200,000 cards per month through January 1999. The Company does not manufacture card reader/writers but instead continues to purchase such equipment from a Japanese licensee, Nippon Conlux Co., Ltd., currently the Company's sole supplier of reader/writers.
