OK SO I should have asked this on my app because it's kind of obvious, but in the Uglies universe most things, from clothes to toys, come from what is affectionately referred to as the Hole in the Wall. You tell the wall what you want and it builds it from the molecules up, like a 3D printer. It's roughly person-sized, and can build clothes right on a person. It's an advanced piece of technology that could probably be cannibalized, but it'd be a lot of work.

MY QUESTION IS, would Shay's Hole in the Wall be allowed to exist, and if so, allowed to work? There are safeties programmed in so that they can't make weapons, drugs, bungee jackets, anything that could potentially get somebody hurt - though Shay would have found a workaround no doubt, the Admiral could make that Not Possible.
