Can anyone input images of a CD-ROM into the transporting device and have those images released by it?”
“No way.”, said Frank. “The images must be transferred from the clone-cam to the transporting device only. You cannot transfer CD-ROM images into the transporting device,” concluded Frank Leon.
“This digital radio is very impressive, Uncle Frank.”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, we are within view of Skydome in Toronto and we can still hear WRSR that’s located in Augusta.”
The next moment, the newscaster on WRSR described a bank robbery that took place in Augusta of a major downtown bank. The robbery failed, but Augusta police confirmed it was a failed attempt by the NOIR Bandit

Frank and Tony were now half way to Toronto via the I-95. Frank explained to Tony the virtues and detriments of the transporting device. Frank Lyon started explaining the facts of the transporting device. “Tony, listen to me very carefully. The transporting device in the right hands is harmless. But in the wrong hands, it is very, very dangerous and fatal.”
“What do you mean, Uncle Frank?”
“Just like anything, it was invented to do good things. Now imagine if the NOIR Bandit were to get his hands on the transporting device.”
“Ya…go on”
“What he could do is take an image of the UZI with the clone-cam and literally clone, one-by-one, as many UZI rifles as he prefers!”
“That’s a scary thought, Uncle Frank.”
“You better believe it is.”
“So how can you prevent someone from using it for a malevolent intent?“, asked Tony.
“What I did was to make sure that on the scanner of the transporting device, only my thumb-print can make it operational.
“Nobody else’s thumbprint will make it operate?”
“Nobody else’s.”
“Then there’s little to worry about.“
Half an hour later, Frank sat down in front of the T.V. He wanted to keep up with current events by watching CNN. The top news story was unexpected but shocking. Angelo Carvelli died at the scene of a car accident he was involved in. It was determined that it was cardiac arrest he experienced while he was behind the wheel of his car. Thank goodness, ironically, he veered off the road into a ditch and no other vehicle or person was involved in this altercation.
“What I am to understand is that objects can be duplicated with the transporting device; is that right?” asked Angelo.
“That is correct,” replied Frank.
“I can see where we can profit handsomely with this invention”, said Angelo.
“If I were—we were—to sell this device to the Pentagon, they could duplicate military equipment, save millions of dollars, while at the same time, we could make millions of dollars!”
“Angelo, I am ashamed of you! You want to take something I invested time and money in, and you want to use for a malevolent purpose?”

Off to Rio. He inserted the picture of Christ the Redeemer in the Transporting Device. Placing his thumbprint on the pad did not activate “Brigid” right away. What? The second time, it malfunctioned again. Panic set in. Heart beating a mile a minute, Frank saw two measly greenbacks in his wallet. My Lord! No!! And his credit card was maxed out from advanced mortgage payments, in keeping the nasty banks at bay. ‘This is the house that Jimmy is to be raised in—geez!!!’‘I’ve got to resolve this problem now! I will not be trapped in stinky old London. Not the city I want to be poor, homeless and trapped in and most of all away from my boy. Press Press, darn!!! His sweat was dampening his every inch of self and worry.
It was not till the thirtieth time, that he turned his finger slightly to the right. It worked. Good bye to London Town. Amazing what you learn about yourself in moments of truth and panic.
He determined his next destination: Paris, France. In an instant, he was at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. Eyes popping out of his sockets! Quel Spectacle! He observed it with the memory of his late wife in mind and in heart; the city of lights shone not only in front of him, but also within his soul’s memory of her. Frank only wished he could visit all 3,800 Historical monuments that encompassed this magnificent city. He could hear Brigid say: ‘Hey Frankie, this is our second Honeymoon! Let’s get some raspberry berets and hold hands like teenagers while we enjoy the sights!’ A tear trickled down his cheek.
