I love TED-talks anyway, but this guy is one of the most electrifying
(no pun intended... OK, then, *don't* believe me :) speaker I've seen
there. Listening to his talk is like drinking a good bottle of wine.

Incidentally, the system is already in place in Israel, Sweden (IIRC),
and Japan. *Awesome*, brilliant bit of social engineering that deals
with exactly the problem cited above.
