I don’t think anyone running this app in the field needs to worry about the encryption of the app itself. The devices it will run on will be plenty encrypted.

Actually this is a case where iDid. The iPhone has been used by the US Gov to operate sniper rifles remotely. I think there have been a couple other iPhone apps too but I don’t recall them at present.

Maybe its me….but why does everyone act like Android is the first OS they’ve ever seen. I mean I’m glad its finding so many different uses in many places. But I just wonder why all of these ideas spring up around Android like they couldn’t have been done before. Its interesting to me.

has anybody here read the book World War Z?
i highly recommend you do. i’m not necessarily a zombie enthusiast, but this book was excellent.
when you get to the chapter: battle of yonkers, it basically describes a fictional RATS.
