Unlock Your Doors With a Knock Code
Erica Campbell writes to tell us IsraCast is reporting that E-lock has developed a new kind of lock technology designed to open a door based on a "knock code." From the article: "This innovation is based on patented technology which uses a series of quick knocking sounds. The discrete mechanical knocks open the lock and are produced by a small device that can be carried by any authorized person. The device which opens the lock needs to touch the door (which can be made out of any material such as metal, wood, plastic or glass) to cause the lock mechanism to open. Since there is no keyhole or contact point on the door, this unique mechanism offers a significantly higher level of security then existing technology."
It seems to me that IsraCast is primarily concerned with getting money from investors. Some of the schemes sound good to someone with little technical knowledge, but are foolish to someone who knows how things work.
Notice that the IsraCast web page referenced in the Slashdot story is titled "Preview".
I wrote a summary of what in my opinion was IsraCast-promoted fraud: IsraCast: Involved in fraud?. It was modded down to -1 because I criticized the behavior of some Israelis. However, in my opinion that criticism was justified because IsraCast also does public relations for radical Jewish causes. For example, Paul Wolfowitz, a Jew, did the initial planning for the U.S. government's invasion of Iraq. Israelis were worried by Saddam Hussein and wanted someone else to pay for their security. Fifteen of the 9/11 attackers were Saudi. When Saudis attack invade Iraq?
Lately, Slashdot regularly posts IsraCast P.R. releases.

Before, Saddam got Iraq oil profits & paid part to kill Iraqis. Now a few Americans share Iraq oil profits, & U.S. citizens pay to kill Iraqis. Improvement?
