Sensatech Systems,Japan, has sold out of Forget-me-not panties, which have built-in GPS. The blurb says:
These panties will monitor the location of your daughter, wife or girlfriend 24 hours a day, and can even monitor their heart rate and body temperature.
Based on pioneering research developed by the US military at DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), we have brought this revolutionary technology, previously only available to the military, to you!
These "panties" can trace the exact location of your woman and send the information, via satellite, to your cell phone, PDA, and PC simultaneously! Use our patented mapping system, pantyMap®, to find the exact location of your loved one 24 hours a day.
Comment: This sounds like a leftover from April 1, but so far, no one seems to think it's a spoof. It also reminds me of writing about Kursty Groves, a student at the Royal College of Art in London, who included GPS in her TechnoBra design. Since the Guardian search engine can't find that five year old Online item, there are brief details here.
The brassiere contains a global positioning system, a heart rate monitor, and the components of a cell phone. If the wearer is attacked, the bra sends a signal to a GPS satellite, which determines the location of the assault and dispatches a text message to the number of the wearer s choosing--possibly a private security firm or a bodyguard. The wearer has 30 seconds to disarm the bra in case of a false alarm.
