    Preacher Linc,
    that is a very interesting bit of technology...very big brother from the turn of the century. Of course, if I was paying someone to watch my junk, I'd want to be sure they were doing their job. It kinda reminds me of nanny webcams...

    CB These type of systems haven't changed much in all this time. The author mentions that today we would use GPS or cameras, but the best solution is just a digital version of that old key system.

    I ran a mall security department for awhile. We had these wands that each officer would carry, and during their patrol, they'd touch the wands to each mounted plate. This would make a record in the wand, which I could download to my computer later.

Howdy, Stranger!
