What would you use instead of bluetooth?

Not a consumer communication device in the first place.


So you would have instead everybody acquire some new piece of hardware.

Not gonna happen, sorry.

Ping Mickey! Hey Mickey, I'm going to propose something that could have
come from you. ;-)

Taking a cue from a teenage girl advertising her babysitting skills or a
college student trying to sell a washer/dryer set, how about we forget
about all of this Bluetooth stuff, since people are afraid of it, and we
have everyone make up a series of 3x5 cards where you put your unique
'code' repeatedly along the bottom of the card, then you make a series of
cuts so that as you encounter people, you tear off one of their tabs as
they tear off one of yours. As people test positive, their code number gets
published and you go through your pile of torn tabs to see if you have a
match. If yes, you were close to that person.

For the humour-impaired, I'm kidding.

No, don't be kidding. It's a good idea. I see that at supermarkets.

It could be combined with a fashion campaign. Instead of bag dresses,
culottes, and poodle skirts, they could have blouses and dresses, sport
shirts and suit jacketsm with a space on the back for a paper tablet.
Half would be the way you describe** and the other half would be for
sending messages to the wearer. When s/he gets home at the nd of the
day, he takes off his top and see who's been writing hm. Then he emails
them, calls them on the phone, texts tthem, or wait until he sees them
again.

Women love reasons to change styles, and males will do it if the school
or their employer insists.

**Maybe your way is a little tedious. They could use the kind of
numbers on the bottom of checks, then automatically read and store the
tabs when they get home, and the comparing with alerts ccould be
computerized.

Anything is better than the intrusive bluetooth. Plus it runs your
battery down.

We should get together, go into business and make a lot of money doing
this.

We won't need much capitalization, only enough to buy 3x5 cards and
paper tablets.

I suggest: Jimicky Medical Security.
