RJT>VH> You want to invest in my psyonic sweat detector? :-)

RJT>Nonono,  *I* don't wanna invest,  I'm talking about *other people's* money
RJT>here...  Ain't that the way it's supposed to work?  :-)

Ya gotta have faith, man.  If it saves one child, it will be worth it.

RJT>RJT>VH> They never did answer the basic question -- how long
would it take
RJT>RJT>VH> on average to match up a fired case or bullet?

RJT>VH> And I LOVED the argument that, although they have to admit you can
RJT>VH> change the "ballistic fingerprint" of a gun in a
minute or less
RJT>VH> "Criminals wouldn't do THAT." :-)

RJT>Yep.  Not if they pass laws and stuff.

Right -- criminals would NEVER break the law. :-)

RJT>VH> Oddly enough, "60 Minutes" did a piece on
fingerprints just a week
RJT>VH> before this crap aired -- and pointed out that there has never been
RJT>VH> a scientific study of fingerprints, there is no standard for
RJT>VH> matching fingerprints, and most fingerprint
"technicians" are not
RJT>VH> certified.

RJT>I didn't know about that.  But it's no big surprise...

Funny how the Emperor looks naked, right? :-)
