An unusual contract opportunity

There's an unusual opportunity for a couple of thousand dollars of contracting work that's posted on the GetAFreelancer web site. Here's what someone wants:

Looking for bluetooth chip and software, and or GSM setup that can be installed in pos terminals that will temporarily backupcard swipe info & pin info, in case of power/system failure before daily purge... Chip must be able to be installed internally, and terminal function properly. Backup info must be recorded prior to encryption, and must be able to be downloaded to bluetooth wireless device. Serious and knowledgeable electronic engineers wanted!!!!!!

In other words, they want someone to build a bug for POS devices. The current bid is only $2600, so it looks like someone's going to get this bug built fairly cheaply.
