Passpack wasn't built by Google, so the only way we could get into that list would be to be acquired by them. Polarized fiber optics -- sorry, we have not control over where people connect to Passpack from. That's part of the beauty actually :) Cheers to you, Tara Hi Elliot,

Many products out there incorporate Google search features - there are any number of other ones available and in R&D. Just click the More and Even More links on Google's site. I'm not sure how it works, but I've heard that polarized fiber optic connections cannot be hacked, because interference required to read the transmission destroys the transmission. Could it be possible to put your database behind such a fiber? If it does work that way, you other challenge would be explaining the physics in such a way that lay users would trust it.

I've been very suspicious (but nonetheless happy with) the motives behind passpack since I couldn't figure out who was paying for it. Now I feel a bit more comfortable. Keep up the good work.
