“The problem with ‘soft walls’ concept, according to Koncelik, is that it does not protect all US airspace. Instead, it focuses on protecting ‘high value, static targets’. As a consequence, vast majority of nation’s population as well as on and off shore assets will remain at risk.”

Koncelik insists that there is also a far simpler solution to threat terrorism poses. Using GPS technologies, his patent provides for a pilot override that could easily interfaced with existing pilot control boxes that when activated allows tracking aircraft and/or ground controllers to assume control of aircraft. "Remotely piloted vehicles have been around for years," Koncelik says, "so it isn’t like my patent requires a great deal of endless research. All we need to do is integrate existing technologies with pilot override system I’ve patented."

Koncelik’s patent is one of five he currently holds. It can be viewed on United States Patent and Trademark Office’s web site (www.uspto.gov). Just type his first and last name into “Term 1" and “Term 2" fields and click on “Search”. To learn more about The Soft Walls Project visit http://softwalls.eecs.berkeley.edu/ .

The anthropologists as a whole are more open-minded despite having made many judgement errors that conventional thinking and funding process have contributed to in a big way. We are constantly finding facts and opinions of what academia calls mavericks are able to enlighten past in all disciplines of anthropology and archaeology. Gimbutas and Campbell have followed a long line of independent thought from Humboldt and Hawkes through Petrie and Marshack. In end they have brought mythology to foreground through use of techniques like space photos and now we have solid state chemistry and genetics to blaze new trails. There is still a lot of small-minded provincial 'pissing-contests' between differing disciplines but there are a lot of exciting things being achieved. The cases of researchers spending up to twenty years working and living with natives, who tell them what they want to hear because they are gracious and kind, are numerous. (6) The value systems of our researchers who want to position themselves and Euro-Centric financial backers as more civilized are rife in annals of what some say is far from a science.

When a native group being held under academic scrutiny and subject to logical linear mindsets actually is able to educate 'experts' about their culture it is exception. Often such things are not funded because data doesn't 'fit' prevailing literature. Carlos Castaneda was an anthropologist from UCLA who made a major breakthrough on his own. Even his debunkers have to admit he has brought a great deal of insight to field as a whole. Dr. Wayne Dyer owes a great deal of thought involved in his 'You'll See it, When You Believe It!' to work of Carlos Castaneda and his Toltec mentor Don Juan. It is possible that all of our research into human behavior has more to learn than we think we already know. That might mean we are wrong about many key things. One of most obvious things that our cultural bias foists upon data is relative importance we place on intellect rather than spirit.

A wise man knows he is a fool, a fool thinks he is a wise man.
