Encounters

No, it's not what you think. I just realized I'm late with the rest of this post from a couple of days ago.

My idea is this: Rather than place an ankle bracelet that allows police to track sexual predators on parole, etc., why not equip children with a simple device that signals them when a known paedophile is in the vicinity? Also or alternatively, the same signal can be received by a parent or anyone carrying a cell phone. The man's privacy is upheld since only his wherabouts is indicated and children are kept safe. It's a win/win situation. Carriers, politicians and police services, are you listening?

Q & A's from around the web

Is it legal to send/transmit one-way signals to space?

Just out of curiosity, are you wearing a tinfoil hat right now?
