FWIW, you can alter the display on the Passport to show the # of threats. Just need to push a couple buttons.

I recently used my Passport while in Florida and it was unnerving driving on the interstate between Miami and Cocoa Beach, getting blips from FHPs and not knowing whether they were behind me or ahead of me. Since laser/POP detection is an even playing field (if you can detect it, you're pretty much screwed), the difference becomes directional. And that is where Valentine may have the edge. I wonder just how long they have that patent (on the arrows)?
