If the price is reasonable, I for one would be willing to donate
the bucks for a FPGA chip or two to see this get built:

The very existance of this device in the real world would make our
point better than anything I've yet heard.
Imagine being at a hearing and having the physical device sitting
there before the judges......

Has anyone thought of asking RSA, etc, for help? If DES falls (so to speak) it
yould make thare product more desirable.
