i had an uncle with a very expensive gun collection. when he went on trips he arranged a setgun pointed at the door, rigged to go off if anybody broke in.

i was young and didnt question things. but nowadays i would ask him what he would do if his house was burning down, and the firemen wouldnt save his gun collection because there was a set gun in there. or if one of them got shot.

he was from texas.

I always thought that a net hanging from the ceiling or on the porch in a nautical theme would be nice. Set them with a trip lever, and the net falls on the problem person(s). Then...the taser.

AI-powered home security system strikes back with paintballs and tear gas

https://www.foxnews.com/tech/ai-powered-home-security-system-strikes-back-with-paintballs-tear-gas


years ago john brunner erote a book called the sheep look up, where he predicted widespread social issues stemming from unchecked capitalism and pollution, dangerous manufacgured products, and so on. or maybe it was the shockwave

rider, where he predicted tbe internet, includong computer viruses.

anyway, one of his predictions was a front door that killed unwelcom

e visitors before they could become a tbreat.

the AI version, with paintball and teargas, has just been released. potential problems afe obvious, but it seems that brunner was right again
