TECH NOIR: "SECURITY/SAFETY: HOME /DORM/ CHILD"

"SECURITY: HOME/DORM/CHILD"

Forget the 'Modess' girls...grab for your armour....

While it is a "good idea" to put 911 on your cell phone
speed dial, "always be prepared" is more than a 'motto' when
your personal safety and security is at stake. The following
is research that I culled together from prominent security
experts. I take "my" safety very seriously and you should take
yours seriously too. So--let's get right to it....

I. Personal Safety (while traveling or on vacation).

Hotel Safe (use it for jewelry, passport, credit cards etc).

A. Outside of your hotel:

1. Security Wallet
Wear it around your neck while sight seeing or touring. Corporate
Travel Safety sells one with a "reinforced wire" that can't be
cut from around your neck.

B. Inside your hotel room:

2. Pepper Spray Pen (for Key Ring)
Self-explanatory.

3. Super Door Stop

4. Clapper Plus

don't have to get out of bed!)

5. Personal Motion Detector
Place strategically in your hotel room (it will read any
movement and then sound an alarm).
View/Buy: www protectmefirst.com

6. Pepper Spray Pen (for Key Ring)
Get a long cord, attach the pepper spray pen to a long cord
and hang it on your hotel bed post. (Remember you CAN NOT carry
this on board the airplane---you have to pack it in the luggage
cargo section).

C. Locator
7. GPS Tracker
Get a cell phone with a GPS Tracker. (Although with exception
of a few States "all" cell phones can be tracked by the police).

For those of you with children the IOn Kids is now available.
A homer/wrist tag is placed on your child's arm (it looks
like a "watch") and a "base unit" is carried by the parent (it
looks like a "tv remote control"). It sounds an alarm if anyone
tries to "remove the watch/homer/wrist tag" from your child's
wrist....

D. Police
8. 911
Put "911" on your cell phone speed dial.

e. Defense Weapons
9. Taser C-2 (non-fatal)
View/Buy: www taser.com

10. Fire Arm (fatal)
Police recommend a 32 or 38 for women. Personally I prefer
a 25. (Do get special fire arms training. Your
yellow pages will list "training sites". Weapons stores
can also recommend fire arms training sites. And--you must
get a "permit" if you want to carry a "concealed weapon" when
you travel. Note: There is even a bra holster!).
