Subject: RE: [IP]Biometric filtering

Dave,
 
Secure Computing is a manufacturer of both authentication products
(SafeWord) and web filtering products (SmartFilter and Bess), so you might
be interested in our take on this.
 
While I haven¹t seen any specifics, just looking at the device pictured on
the I-Mature website http://i-mature.net/content.php?id=17&tno=7
<http://i-mature.net/content.php?id=17&amp;tno=7> it¹s hard to see how it
could be retailed for just $25.  A more serious problem is getting home
users to buy and install biometric devices.  I¹m skeptical that that the
consumer market will purchase biometrics in enough numbers for a product
like this to be successful.
