So you're suggesting that the President of the US can't find someone
to hook him up with a "wire" that's as sophisticated as something I
could cobble together with stuff in my garage (if I were to actually
buy something, I'd simply use connection wiring that would be
virtually invisible under TV conditions).

"Virtually invisible"? So was Bush's, but then he got caught, as he
would have if he had been wearing your jerry-rigged device, if you
could build one that worked- which I don't think you could. If you
look at the basic device www.comtek.com/IFBCueing/ifbcueing.html,
you will see that the wire is rather heavier than you imply, and for
good reason.

You obviously know little about electronics. The size cable required
to carry the signal from a small microphone is absolutely tiny, a
small fraction of the size that headphone cables need to be (since
they carry many times more current, and are MUCH larger than they need
to be since the limitation is physical, not electrical). The "cable"
in question appears to be at least several mm wide - proving it's not
a "cable" but an odd shadow... but don't let that stop you from
dreaming up new conspiracy theories.

And one would have to wonder why they'd route the thing OUTSIDE his
shirt

I said NOT that. In back, underneath his jacket, we can't tell whether
the device is underneath his shirt or on top, and it doesn't matter.
We see it plainly underneath the jacket, and likewise underneath his
T-shirt in the White House photos of him clearing brush at Crawford
(see thread "Remote Control?").

But all this is just another one of your attempts at diversion. So
again, what is YOUR explanation for the device clearly visible
underneath his jacket and T-shirt? Here is mine, and it is the same as
that of anyone not living in denial:

Uh huh... pehaps you could tell us all WHY the POTUS would be wearing
a wire at all, and what advantage that might possibly give him. Never
mind the obvious technology issues that has disproven your theory -
tell us all what possible advantage he might gain by wearing a wire to
a debate.
