eMerge, which demonstrated an
early prototype for The Associated
Press, said its first clean-hand
scanners could go on sale as early as
year's end to restaurants, nursing
homes, hospitals and day-care
centers. Using identification cards,
the devices can even record which
employees scrubbed acceptably and
which ones still have dirty hands.

I was expecting an electronic nose -- analagous to random police checks
