Whilst it is unlikely to happen again, there is a widespread fear of terrorists weilding weapons with the intent to hijack aircraft or injure civilians. This fear has spread to include many public places and circumstances previously considered safe.
The Security Blanket may be used by civilians
or security personnel, to neutralise a number of such threats. Cutproof, bulletproof and extremely sticky on one side, you simply don the special handling gloves, release it from its custom packaging and toss it over the would-be perpetrator. The more he/she struggles the tighter it sticks.
Soon to be released: The suicide bomber model, which will also be useful as a stickdown blast blanket for package bombs. I don't think they make sticky ones.

Sticky foam
http://www.zarc.com...ns/sticky_foam.html A similar solution, no special gear clothing required. Note the list of potential problems. [phoenix, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 21 2004]

Can we get one in research reactor size? (To put over Ian Cohen and Phil Blight. Soundproof it, too.) |
|
| |
I can see these being deployed in parliamentary chambers, whenever Bob Brown and his feral friends show up. |
|
| |
(Actually, I was on Brown's side on that one. But I see your point. How about just a parliamentary sized one?) |
|
| |
Seems fair to me. Brown had a point that he was never going to get across in the usual manner, of parliamentary address. |
|
| |
Getting back to the idea... These would be a welcome alternative to shooting and macing idiots with knives, as it currently the practice. |

Non lethal nets might come in handy. [Link} |
|
| |
I thought about nets, 2f, but they don't really prevent the use of a weapon by the "nettee". |
|
| |
I don't imagine there's really any way to prevent the possibility of suffocating the "nettee", short of developing a non-toxic antidote to the glue, to spray over facial areas. |
|
| |
Twould be funny to see this blanket in action though. Would sales be restricted? It would be far far to easy to use in prank situations. |
|
| |
That's why I want to test it on Brown, who claims to be Green, and is actually Pink. |
|
| |
From her videos, I *really* don't think you want to tangle with Pink. |
|
| |
P.S. From my experiences trying to get plain old plastic wrap not to stick to itself, I think I'll stick with glue guns. |
|
| |
I hope you develop an incurable groin fungus colony. |
|
| |
The new season's greetings. |
|
| |
I'm giving this one a bun. Testing, probability of positive outcome, blah, blah, blah. I'd want one on an air(aero)plane. + |
|
| |
Very nice, [UnaBubba] ... + |
|

//workers stay at their desks// |
|
| |
And what would you know about that, pray tell. |
|
| |
Heck, I got a whole office, it's just not in the same town. |
|
| |
And just throw a Security Blanket over your head when you encounter the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal . DONT PANIC ! |
|
| |
I think I would quite like it to be a net actually. A sticky net. And then I could have a collapsible trident to whip out and jab in the naughty person's soft parts. |
|
| |
The trident is a big thing to carry in your pocket, [squeak]. Especially with those nasty nukes on board. |
|
| |
I think I'd probably wind up getting my elf stuck. But + anyway. |
|
| |
Is that an ICBM in your pocket or... |
|
| |
Stop! If you don't stop I'll release my attack octopus! |
