If you read the PDF associated with the article the survey looks to me more like an assessment of financial ability to deploy. The 40% number already have PLANS to deploy. Of that 60% some portion probably want to deploy 7, but don't have a plan in place to do so. Perhaps they are waiting for things to shake out, perhaps they are waiting for the economy to recover so they can afford to spend money on IT. This was perhaps the most misleading /. title I've ever seen.

Sorry, but I'd be more concerned about the cost and battery drainage. The odds of being killed by a terrorist is infinitely smaller than car accidents or treatable diseases. I'd much rather see the government try to fix one of those problems rather than detecting nuclear material with cell phones.
