All you have to do is pound on the keyboard in really fast keystrokes, any random keystrokes, except using the space bar, or the return key, and never ever the backspace key, and certainly don't touch the mouse, and in seconds you can hack into the DOD or IRS or any company on the planet. Then you can enhance a reflection of a license tag from the bumper of a car across the street from an ATM and clearly read the tag, or track the location of anyone that used an electronic device in any form.

I have seen it all on TV! It must be real.
