Ahh...you guys are proving my point that the writers did a good job of
catching our attention and getting us thinking. My point wasn't whether
the
show was technologically feasible or legally accurate, but that they wrote
an interesting story. Something the CSI: Miami writers seem to have
fogotten
how to do. Just the fact that we are even debating what was and wasn't
true
to life is a good sign. After all, these shows are for entertainment
value,
not do***entaries. An when was the last time we discussed a Miami plot
line??????
