I've heard a bit in the news recently about how BHP is cashed up and even critisized for keeping too much cash around instead of funding growth more aggressively ... I wonder if BHP would be interested in acquiring a company like IDL!?!?

Just off the top of my head, idl has:
- anti collision safety products that could help any mine site
- tons of specialized and costly coal safety equipment to benefit mines (and perhaps cut off competition from using the same technology)
- huddy's services could help respond quickly to increasing demand
- connections into china that could be beneficial too

anyone else have thoughts on this???
