I know several abductees, and most of them have already had more than enough tampering with their lives, without having to wear, or be surrounded with these gadgets. They don't need more proof - they've already had more than they can handle. Also, the abductions don't necessary happen on a regular or predictable schedule. It could be months or even years between abduction experiences. That is an unacceptable length of time to be surrounded by these gadgets. One of the abductees did try out some electronic equipment for a few weeks but, obviously no experiences occurred during that short time. It has even been said that abductions won't occur while monitoring equipment is around. The equipment was very invasive to the abductee's normal life habits. It is too much to expect these people to be "guinea pigs". They really do want to get on with a normal life. I think that it's time that we treat abductees with respect and dignity, and not like "guinea pigs" wearing equipment that "criminals" wear! If they wish to volunteer, then that should be up to them, and we should feel honoured by their sacrifice. John Koopmans
