We still have alot of work to do on the project but this is not a babysitter and will market it as such. Through education and the most up to date technology, we will take those steps to prevent identity theft of our clients.

I think the "making them cool/pretty" idea is great...because it can't *look* like a "safety device" or the first thing any criminal would do is cut them off. Also, the obvious: making the cool looking would go a long way toward making the kid wear them without the usual fuss parents go through. (Trying to explain - in response to "you don't trust me!!!" - that it isn't the KID that isn't trusted, it's the rest of the planet that isn't trusted is a bitch.)

The elementary schools all had these big "protect your children!" Throb-A-Thons that gave out packets to hold the latest pics and the fingerprints they took. I became unpopular by calling them the "Indentify the Body Kits." Hell, that's what they *were.* How does having your kids prints on file "protect" them? It frigging *doesn't.* It just helps identify the body.

Would I have gotten these for my kids when they were younger? Yes. They would have been strapped on and never used until a curfew was missed and panic set in, should that have happened.
