Wait, better idea.<br>
<br>
Scenario: scoundrel takes driverless Uber car home, hides camera. We create<br>
a device which recognizes an outgoing signal anywhere nearby, then transmits<br>
its own signal at that frequency at a much higher power. We create a phony<br>
video using actual porno actors, create script which allows the scoundrel to<br>
find out the (phony) identity of the passengers: "Oh Reverend Carbuncle, you<br>
are so hot!" "Please, Susie May, you may call me Fester."<br>
<br>
Set up a phony website with a megachurch somewhere, head pastor Rev. Fester<br>
N. Carbuncle, Choir Director Susie May Rottencrotch. Now the trap is set.<br>
Scoundrel contacts phony megachurch demanding ransom, we demand some kind of<br>
evidence the scoundrel has actual video, we set up some means of tracking<br>
source of email, POW! We catch her!<br>
<br>
We were so worried the future wouldn't have enough jobs, heh, nonsense.<br>
There will be plenty of new ones. Granted, they will be some really weird<br>
jobs.<br>
