I posted this in regards to enhancing a protective details security plan. If you are protecting a client that has a smart phone, having a SOS Link set up on it could definitely help out. Especially for stalkers or during the early phases of kidnapping. I am not sure about the language transmitter though, and I don’t think that would be enough to stop anyone. But taking video and recording sound as soon as the SOS Link is pushed on a phone is very handy, and puts that information into the right hands. That information could be crucial to the investigation of trying to find a person within the first 48 hours. Even the GPS function will be nice, all the way up until the bad guys detain the phone. Interesting stuff and the various applications being made for these phones is amazing. –Matt
