Home Alarm Blasts Burglars With Pepper Spray

Posted by samzenpus on from the hope-you-don't-forget-the-code dept.

Zothecula writes "This is one home security alarm you won't want to trigger by mistake! Burglar Blaster mounts on a wall inside the home, and once armed, uses an infrared beam to detect when an intruder has entered the house. It then emits a cloud of pepper spray, that will severely inconvenience anyone within 2,000 square feet (186 square meters)."

    But don't people regularly accidentally set off their own alarms?
    Normally all this takes is a quick phone call to set right, but this looks like it will lead to a few lawsuits by purchasers.
