Many of the department stores in my area use a large plastic device stapled to
|
|||
|
|
the clothing as a security precaution. Several years ago, an adventurous friend
|
|||
|
|
of mine got ahold of one of thes somehow, and we took it apart. Inside was a
|
|||
|
|
heavy paper strip laminated to aluminum foil (?). As I recall, this paper strip
|
|||
|
|
was about half an inch wide and 3-1/2 inches long. When this device got close
|
|||
|
|
to a pillar or column at the exits of a store, an alarm would sound.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
My friend put this paper in his wallet, and we had a lot of fun wandering in
|
|||
|
|
and out of various stores at a local shopping center. We would enter when a
|
|||
|
|
group of people would enter, or exit with several other shoppers all together..
|
|||
|
|
When we entered a local Sears in the shopping center in the main corrider of the
|
|||
|
|
indoor mall, a loud bell rang. A family with kids was just leaving. The
|
|||
|
|
nearest clerk ran out the entrance to look at everyone standing around. A plain
|
|||
|
|
clothes security guy appeared out of nowhere. Everyone had a good time. The
|
|||
|
|
next store we went in was also packed with people and the manager (?) got
|
|||
|
|
paranoid when the alarm went off. If you move about discreetly and don't wear a
|
|||
|
|
jacket or coat, you can liven up the busiest of stores. But don't go into an
|
|||
|
|
empty store with one of these in your wallet. That's a no-no.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Could you please secure a quantity of these paper strips and send them out
|
|||
|
|
with your next issue? Or offer them for sale? They can be great fun,
|
|||
|
|
especially in a Xmax shopping mob. The one we had came unlaminated and wouldn't
|
|||
|
|
work any more. This might be a great money maker for TAP. You may even want to
|
|||
|
|
devote an entire issue to this neat gadget. These strips could be left inside
|
|||
|
|
candy wrappers and in the bottem of a coke cup and placed near these detector
|
|||
|
|
columns or pillars. Put one in a plant near a pillar. The uses and fun could
|
|||
|
|
be endless. A good senior class project would be to freak out every alarm in
|
|||
|
|
every store so equiped, at 2 PM some Saturday afternoon when the mall is really
|
|||
|
|
packed.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Please have your security committee go to work on getting a couple million of
|
|||
|
|
these things so that everyone can have several. It's more fun than going to the
|
|||
|
|
movies.
