10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Actually we do have a long history of
successful “drop-vaults” in this Country. Next to the ATM machine
in the front of your old bank building there is this long forgotten steel
drawer built into the side of the bank for night deposits….before our
electronic check deposits? Course, it did take a bank’s worth of
money to buy them. A search on drop vault on the net will show a wide
variety available for other uses today. Then there was the GPS drop box I just
saw at the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Portland</st1:City> <st1:State
w:st="on">Oregon</st1:State></st1:place> airport bolted into the concrete deck
of the parking lot. ( <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Enterprise</st1:place></st1:City>
rent a car site.) It had a pretty substantial lack of resilience to it
when I accidentally backed into it at 4:15 in the am. It is not clear to me
though that there would be the financial initial wherewithal to buy these in
any quantity other than for pilot projects as opposed to the 10’s of
thousands ( more?) that it would take to blanket the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region
