Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Aaron Kuhn<\/a>, who offers up this challenge:<\/p>\n

Here’s a fun challenge for the SWLing Post readers. On the Fox show Prison Break Season 5 Episode 7, they show this “Marine Notification System” printing out a wanted message as the captain sits in his ship and looks on.<\/p>\n

What is this gadget?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks for the fun challenge, Aaron.<\/p>\n

So I guess we first have to decide if this is truly a device that’s in service in the real world, or simply a\u00a0prop made for the episode.<\/p>\n

I’m willing to bet that someone in the SWLing Post<\/em> community can ID this device!<\/p>\n
