Not the entangled particles, I mean what ever "particle" in the device 
you are using the trigger the effect desired, and which ever one of the 
the entangled pair you are playing with, to produce that result. You 
don't get an effect in a vacuum (well, you do, but the odds of a 
collisions are a lot damn less likely lol), you have to have the 
particle pair you are testing with "interact" with something. That 
interaction, as I said in the other post, is almost never, if ever, the 
measuring device. So, measurement is irrelevant to the problem.
