#3 Somehow I don't think this will work. A really smart kid is gonna have word choice and perhaps typing classes and might even go faster and smoother than and adult typist. A lot of adults hunt and peck still, and lastly how many are typing from their iPhones?

A better way (and what I suspect they are doing now) is to put FBI agents into the chat rooms and have them give off whatever info draws the Predators like flies. Or pass a law that convicted sex offenders are not allowed to access chatrooms known to be frequented by children and if they do their computer access will be revoked.

#4 Don't forget that your typing style may be subtly changed even by the keyboard being used. and lets not forget if you are 'multitasking' (or would that be 'multichatting'?).

Add to that the the varying apparent speed of the computer due to it multitasking. "Oh look - my Virus scan just started. - I just lost 20 years off my age!"
