SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS
There are no military standards or specifications that this t-shirt is designed to meet. There are no special characteristics of the t-shirt, including no radiation-hardening, no ballistic protection, no hard ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^ points (the t-shirt is only available in soft 100% cotton), no TEMPEST ^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ capability, no thermal and no infrared signature reduction capability (in excess of that provided by a typical black cotton t-shirt), no surveillance, and no intelligence gathering capability. The t-shirt does not use image intensification tubes.

I didn't find the time yesterday to send the CJR (instead, I was preparing for a rather cpunks-friendly presentation on Net (In)security to a graduate Business Administration class here at Berkeley for Tuesday. The revised target ship date is Wednesday. Raph
