So many things missing from the OP's requirements like:

Must work in ALL weather conditions (fog, rain, snow, dust)
Must be accurate to 1 ms
Must identify which DRIVER is in the car as more than one person may be driving any given car, and drivers may have full face helmets
Must handle backward/spinning/sliding finishes
Must process in near realtime ( 20sec between finishes)
Must handle multiple cars on course at once (at least 3 running)
Must handle GoKarts and other strange pieces of machinery that may not have roof/hood/doors
Portable/Lightweight/Packable

What else is my caffeine starved brain missing?

Ah, but how many of these other businesses are still paying their pensions? Too many simply went bankrupt or just closed up shop and the benefit recipients were told to pound sand.

Most people would be thrilled to have a pension for retirement, but most would rail against the idea that part of their benefits they EARNED were simply stripped away years later due to a cash flow problem.

Here, with this law, the problem has simply presented itself earlier in the life cycle.

SELL! SELL! SELL!

I'm sure someone will help trigger the programmatic trading tomorrow and drag everything down. That stock price will do more rising and falling tomorrow than a collapsed souffle.

I'm not sure what the big deal is. I've seen this decades ago.
Granted the end points were stationary relative to each other and the distances were slightly shorter.

But all you'd really need is a 50MW laser and a phase-conjugate tracking system.

I don't know about you, but I'm extremely satisfied that my interface's home is in a Class A network.

I mean, who wants to live in a sub-class neighborhood?

Since we cannot determine your place of residence, I'll assume you do not know of 'At-Will-Employment'.

In Indiana (and many other States), employment is 'At Will' which basically boils down to this: You or your employer may terminate the employee/employer relationship at will, with no notice, for any reason OR NO REASON AT ALL.

Legally, they can terminate your employment at anytime.

Only if you can PROVE that you were terminate due to a federally protected status (race/sex/religion/etc...) do you have any legal ground whatsoever.

Personally, I'd have to REALLY LOVE that company and the job to put up with accusations and a lack of trust that's being displayed.
This is definitely not the type of behavior that they would accept from you...

Of course not! No customer should want to watch movies on Blu-ray(tm) discs.
That kind of behavior is just a bit too extreme.

If you were not authorized to access the things that you accessed on their systems you did breach their systems.

Doesn't matter if they 'left the door unlocked" or not.
In fact, I think there may be precedent for this kind of thing before...
