[OT] Alarm which sounds if briefcase is opened?
Is it possible to get an alarm which sounds if the catch of my briefcase
is opened while I am out of the room during a meeting? I use a soft briefcase like this one: http://www.crouchandfitzgerald.com/i...cts/hs756p.jpg ------ My thoughts so far: When I have to leave my case unattended maybe I could loop a thin enamelled wire over some part of the catch so that the wire would get snapped when the catch was undone. It's not a great way and I'm looking for something better. Could some sort of window-catch burglar alarm (with a contact and a magnet or whatever) be used? Inside the case I would need a portable but loud alarm sounder which would respond to a broken circuit. Are there any off-the-shelf products which would do this? |

On the assumption that anyone opening is trying to see inside, they need light, either ambient or brought with them. So you could try a light sensor. |

One of these personal attack alarms designed for people to carry in their pockets would do this. i use one on my shed. When I open the shed door, I have to open it only a foot or so and unhook the pin otherwise when the door is opened fully, the pin comes out and the alarm is triggered. You can pick them up for a few quid, There was even a site offering them free a few weeks back. |

Maybe the one Spehro mentioned in another thread. Wire up one of those "That was easy!" buttons. At least that would create utter embarrassment to the person who dunnit :-) -- SCNR, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com |

Poundland has window alarms operated by magnet & reed switch. Fix the two parts so they separate when the case is opened. Seriously noisy and very small, you'll probably get them in the 'sheds' too. -- Keith |

Just wire up a couple of pounds of TNT inside the case to a detonator that activates a few seconds after opening. Chances are, no-one would ever go near your briefcase again! Odie |

If you only want to *prevent* someone opening your briefcase just fit a lock. On the other hand if you want to catch someone in the act then you could probably adapt a car door courtesy switch with battery and buzzer (see www.maplin.co.uk) to do the job. A more subtle approach might be to treat your briefcase with one of those invisible powders which can only be seen by ultra violet light / special glasses. Anyone handling your briefcase would have stained hands and you would be able to see the culprit.

Could you not rig up a panic alarm so that the pin gets pulled out when the case is opened .That would frighten the French all right . lol |

Limit the current to keep from killing them, and put a big, "Do not open" label on it to make sure they can't resist opening it. ;-) -- Service to my country?

This reminded me of the Bond film with the can of explosive talcum powder wich goes off if the case is opened incorrectly. As an alternative to the more sensible suggestions already given you could have maybe a fake hand grenade where the pin flies out when the case is opened, the subsequent loud screams might be audible enough for you.
