[edit] Trivia
Robert Fisk mentions Hollister in chapter 22 of his recent work The great war for civilisation when narrating an incident occurred in the afghan village Hachbirgit during the american-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2002; Hachbirgit villagers were arrested, interrogated and identified via Ident-A-Band Bracelet made by Hollister prior to their definitive release.
