-- -- Syria yeah OK let's get steal column today which he's had to be your alluded CSI.

Yes I guess everybody's everybody's fascinated by CSI the TV series says that column how on earth does one become one zone CSI.

Yes I think you know everyone I have always wanted to detective and I was going up I think everyone enjoys a little bit of Nancy Drew they are -- blaze that's -- thing you know suicide rate -- Yeah this is a little bit tongue in cheek not recommending people go around cheated on -- and -- you know -- -- said.

Because of his hair that would analyze data quickly yeah.

I had the best a look at a little bit of -- -- but at.

Yes just got to have fun related try to draw some attention it's -- -- really cool technology and essentially takes whole advanced lab Jonathan and puts it on a chip and a and it seems that facility preposterous and -- but it they have actually achieved it.

What I love about this is that you with DNA with the backlogs in -- that law enforcement have these days.

You can take you.

It reasonably -- to process DNA that you get on a crime scene if there's -- goodness knows you know it's it unfortunately it isn't like the TV shows where it.

Do you -- only got the information that you need and you can track down the culprit of the perpetrators.

So what this does is -- someone little chip it within 25 minutes and you all five steps of and 25 and ask why and it literally is on a little tipsy got the speed plus the portability.

So I really love this this technology.

Oh good so essentially this is being developed for lower enforcement I guess yeah.

Right I'm not suggesting -- you know for stocking.

You are proud of that but there is as you say I mean -- this could be a game changer because there is such a backlog in so many.

Police departments -- across the country.

That's very true and I it was really nice you recently in New York we had our first crime free day and right.

But my lifetime and I think many people let giants.

Is that nonetheless there's still clearly really high crime rate -- the United States so.

If we were able to get these sorts of just simple solutions you know be sent to -- into even smaller police department here that are overburdened with things going on.

And you know I always like to see New Jersey -- I think people find that fascinating to use of the delete to get.

It is quite a complex process you've got a strip to the cell extraction and you cut into the GA extraction you've got to do.

-- -- that I can barely pronounce I -- subject are -- -- but.

They go to act it is a PCR and it's basically fancy ways of seeing DNA analysis you know so it does take you through all five steps just -- one little chip so -- it.

I am a big fan and yeah like this.

That part -- -- -- I guess the hope is that.

In in particular DNA so important in in a lot of rape and sexual assault cases we've gone sold for so much -- for so long because they don't have the resources hopefully can make a difference that.

-- and -- like three's specs I think this in -- in that area every kid in -- -- -- you know this isn't nicely all that essential -- as he said that the special victims stingy Susan.

You know what a wonderful thing to deal to just immediately turn around and identify and perpetrators -- He just gives you so much more time to you know they often say you have -- -- -- -- hours.

Right after crime is committed -- your best chance of catching someone so high -- immediately.

Have my clues to work with I think is fantastic and also you know person there that DNA in this -- sometimes -- -- you know -- where you.

Mistakes happen in our laps and stuff ended each sort of each time you do it.

It's disposable so there's no chance of you know sort of mix ups happening and thrown personally are being linked to Iran DNA so -- some good sex -- and it's also not as -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- I airline gave feedback from the technicians lake house and they went out to be cleaning -- my equipment that in his Macerich is so -- all right well the column is at foxnews.com.

Being your own CSI but don't take -- -- -- -- it's really not gonna help you.

House of Barry will get columnist with folks he's been called dot com and defense that was great to see it was only things that thanks very much Allison are right.
