I actually just heard about a similar device this week, from a friend of mine in Houston. He said these devices, which are being marketed as "gaydars," simply recognized each other. The guys would wear them to the mixed clubs and whatnot in order to tell if the person they'd been checking out all night played for their team. The problem he presented was interesting, and applies here as well: If 2 guys are wearing these things in public, and they go off, is there a danger of some angry redneck beating the crap out of them? In addition, would some angry redneck buy one just to identify victims of his sexually repressed rage (perhaps similar to the earlier suggestion of finding women who are candidates for abuse, only this would be totally involuntary)?
