Neither. It's a boondoggle. A corporation in the "private sector" is contracted to do the "research" and to make up the new card. Most of the money goes to them. It's another way in which fear is turned into regulation, and security monitoring for profit. !^NavFont02F0229000AE1HYHHZHIqE817 _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
