>>>>>[I recently heard Nakyama Corp - the same ones that do
credstick/keychain, credstick/garage door opener and credstick/remote
control combos - are beta-testing a GPS-credstick combo in Atlanta.
Apparently, you feed in a range of locales - something as specific as
"the Cord skyraker" or as loose as "southern Georgia." So long as you
slot in somewhere within that area, you're transact will go through AO.
If someone gleans your stick off of you and runs off to Memphis to drain
your account, you're in luck, since they stepped outside your
transaction
circle.

Seems like just another fluff layering for the base consumer - any
decker
worth his fiber could spoof the database into believing a coordinate
update was being uploaded with the transaction data - but at least it
keeps the mundanes from getting lost, too. And oh, I really wish they'd
bring back their Swiss Army Credstick - I lost the toothpick on
mine.]<<<<<
