This is a pretty good idea. I remember in high school we would have at least 4 false fire alarms a month. This doesn’t trap whoever pulled it to once spot, it just attaches a heavy metal wristband on them so they can be identified. This should be implemented in schools today.

It’s just an iron hand-cuff that “marks” the wrist with a physical object, which the cops then remove later, and little kids have a lot of explaining to do to Mom and Dad about why they are hiding their arm for half a day after the fire alarm went off. Now the moral question is: do you get our your grinder and save your kid from being given a criminal record, or do you narc on your own son to “teach him a lesson.” Besides, how stupid could a kid be to not IMMEDIATELY figure out how to use a coat hanger to pull the lever instead of sticking his hand through a suspiciously dangerous looking clamping device? I mean that even defeats modern (permanent red skin dye spraying) alarms. Or just ket Mikey to do it; he’ll do anything!

I’ve actualyl seen an old documentary video of this alarm system at work. It was developed because of too many false alarms going off. Particularly children used to play around with there “fire boxes” and caused a great deal of alarms which called for an immediate development of an system which would help identify the person who originally triggered the alarm. The hand must be vertically inserted throught the bottom of the housing to get to the actual trigger. When the trigger is pulled the alarm goes off and the bottoms plate part clamps onto the users wrist. I’m not sure about the actualy mechanics involved, but it would work even with non-adults (the clamp adjusted to the correct wrist size). Note that the bottom plate comes off completely and isn’t attached by cable or chain as mentioned at digg.com. The bottom plate was made of heavy duty steel and was designed to be so big that it was hard to conceal under clothing. I consider this to be quite an interesting invention which did it’s job well, but it wasn’t very widely spread due to the fact that it was more costly to make and people didn’t like the idea that they had to put their hand deep into the box and then have the thing clamp of their wrist.
