   Mike and Fred,

      If I understand the question correctly, the answer is that the systems
   are connected.   We have regional networks in which information sharing is
   limited to that network.  If a network has 25 sites, those 25 sites match
   against each other's reports.  They can also send reports to any other
   site on the network and they can post reports to a network-wide bulletin
   board.  Sites cannot share information across networks. 

    

      However, we do cross-network matching here at the office.  If we see
   cross-network matches, we will contact each affected site, explain that
   the individual(s) or vehicle they reported has been seen on another
   network, and then offer to put the affected sites into direct contact.  We
   have not yet had a cross-network match.  I think over time the different
   networks will begin to unite.  I'm not exactly being prescient here, as
   there is already talk in Vegas and LA of combining their two networks. 
   Same here in DC.   Let me know if this helps or if you need further
   clarification.

    

   Thanks, Dan

   Both: Some clients are already linked, and others can be if they choose.

   With TrapWire all our clients feed a centralized database, so they are in
   affect linked.

   Several of our clients have also agreed to share the entirety of their SAR
   reporting with certain other clients where it makes sense (i.e. all the
   casinos in Vegas share with each other; private and public sector clients
   in LA share with one another; etc.)

    

   Dan: Can you give some more examples of data sharing between clients?

   Reasonable to say the systems are linked or can be linked?  Which is more
   accurate?  Thanks
