It's basically just a problem of SCALE. For this to happen, those in charge will require computer power that was ONCE beyond our wildest dreams.

Just over two years ago, I bought the fastest computer I could get at the time, 300 Mhz. Now, they are selling 1.5 GIGA Hz (or higher) at Dell for less than half what I paid. The incredible number crunching power of the best supercomputers now being developed for the govt. could make this type of project possible not far down the road, IMO.

It's not computer power that is in question here, it's the RF/wireless link problems that will prevent this from happening anytime soon.
