Have any of you seen this viral video on Facebook? https://www.facebook.com/ScienceTechPage/videos/810812565707429/

It has 22,000,000 million views in about 48 hours. I hope the AHJs out there are ready to educate the people in their jurisdictions who will be lining up to buy these.

If you're not familiar with the problems associated with this type of security device, here's a little light reading:

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this issue, or what your jurisdiction is doing about it.
