[FedCom] The hump on Bush's back

[Richard Crisp]

the thing that makes no sense to me is why it is not worn in the armpit like 
a pistol in a shoulder holster?

Likewise why would they use such a fat wire that it could be seen travelling 
up his back.

Geez, this is the POTUS, he has access to the most sophisticated comms 
devices on the planet.

I vote for a neurostimulator or something else that is along those lines. 
Ambulatory heart monitor?
