Hi Dave, this is for IP. Gadi.I saw this release today, and just had to share it with anyone I could find."Every paper, plastic, metal and ceramic surface is microscopically different and has its own 'fingerprint'. Professor Cowburn's LSA system uses a laser to read this naturally occurring 'fingerprint'. The accuracy of measurement is often greater than that of DNA with a reliability of at least one million trillion."I love it when old technologies and science are used in interesting new ways to impact the future.http://nanotechwire.com/news.asp?nid=2254Expect to see this technology at an airport near you, in five years or so.Gadi. -- Gadi Evron, ge () linuxbox org.
