Not a solution. yes, i know i want to minimise that. it has to be a scaleable solution. Perhaps trying to solve this problem via technology is much like trying to eliminate terrorists by killing mature ones rather than indoctrinating potential ones. cut the heads of their C & C and that will (either) get their attention or leave them in dissarray; snipers _always_ kill officers first, unless the REMFs get in their way or the stupid ROEs. I frankly don't think it's going to happen, thus this problem is never going to be solved. i have a 'bad feeling' you're right, but i'm not done with 'em yet. maybe i am crazy enough to beat 'em ;)
