Answers contain no other vowels than "A", but may have more than one "A".
a) Nervousness (7)
b) Police identification system (5,4)

I hope you can help. These are the last two.
Thanks for having a look.

b Warrant card
Question Author
Thanks, Shoota. I thought of that too, but WARRANT the wrong number of letters.
a) habdabs
Smart card??
Question Author
scorpiojo - brilliant! I would never have got that. Being a cockney, I always spelled it "abdabs"!!
One day I'll learn to count....
Glad to help...not sure of smart card though :(
You could swap 'em and have 'alarm' and 'warrant card'.....
Question Author
Heheh, shoota. I'd love to. I seriously considered it, but then i thought of you wonderful puzzlers!

I will go with Smart Card and habdabs.

I really appreciate your help scorpiojo and shoota. Many, many thanks.
Question Author
I wanted ANGST for nervousness!!
"Smart card" fits, obviously, but can't surely be the correct answer. What do smart cards have to do with the police, per se?
Question Author
jeffa, I have doubts (as does scorpiojo). I really like Warrant Card but I've never known this quiz setter to give out an erroneous clue.
I will apply the frazzled, quizzled brain cells tomorrow if I can find them. It's already 1:30 a.m and Smart Card is looking more and more attractive :))

I appreciate your looking at it.
b) could be ?????, pass.
Watch is offered as a synonym for police.
But doesn't seem to fit with either card or pass :-(

Hi all.
Thanks for your thoughts, 1ozzy.
As soon as I'd shut down my PC last night, I thought of "radar trap".
Used by the police to identify speeding vehicles, so I have hopes for this solution.
Thanks again for your help.
Brilliant!
radar trap seems more likely
I like "radar trap"
Good luck.
Question Author
Great, thanks!
I do hope you're right however I don't really see radar traps as identifying anything, except speed I suppose.
