typical research moment

So here's the type of article I read and tuck away in my gray matter for future books. It's not anything earth-shattering...just a description of where biometric scanners are headed in a few years. If I casually write about this in a book, by the time the book's published, I'll be about on track to reflect the technology that's just coming into public consumption. It's all about looking a few years ahead of where we are right now to make suspense books work.
