*   The FBI's Rapid Prototyping Facility (RPF) is a laboratory and factory
*   dedicated to the design and manufacture of "unique miniaturized devices in
*   direct support of various investigative efforts" of the "FBI and other
*   members of the U.S. law enforcement community."
*   
*   Operated jointly by the FBI and the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research
*   Projects Agency (DARPA, creators of the Internet), the FBI facility was
*   created to allow the bureau "to use computer-aided design, engineering
*   and manufacturing of tools and equipment (software and firmware
*   respectively) to design, simulate, and fabricate integrated circuits,
*   printed circuit boards, electronic components, packages, systems and
*   concealments in a quick turnaround cost-effective manner."
*   
*   Among the facilities advantages are speed "through the use of laser
*   restructuring, high-density interconnect, and reverse milling capability,"
*   and a capability "to produce an integrated microphone ('microphone on a
*   chip') in a single design/fabrication process."
