Innovative Laptop Alarm
Three Canadian engineering students have developed a new laptop anti-theft device targeted to busy travelers. By pocketing a small beeper-ish device, the laptop goes into "alert" mode and will emit a piercing death siren if someone moves the laptop more than 15 feet. I guess it seems odd to me that if you are forgetful enough to walk away from your laptop in a busy place like an airport or restaurant (where most thefts occur), wouldn't it be just as easy to also forget the beeper when you wander off? And can anyone bear to carry more battery-operated devices?
