Dave, I like the product. I think you should put together a press
release for media (TV, newspapers, radio) as well as to relevant
lobbying groups and think tanks. ANSER Institute, for example, which is
the big contractor in the Homeland Defense Office, might do a review of
the product and even hype it with government people as well as through
it's website.

i.e. those against it are actually the most ignorant. Don't sweat over
it.
