[AusNOG] [off topic] AUSNOG's "Break Glass in Case of Emergency" :)

Wed Nov 30 12:21:52 EST 2011

The only people I'll willingly allow to stop me leaving somewhere are
police/prison guards and even then that might be questionable if I receive a
30 year government housing plan.

I prefer sign in/out and invoiced if not returned (eg $20 price on
screwdrivers encourages their return), else vending machine.

How about getting the burly security guard to lend it to you, and to not
allow you to leave until you sign it back in?

Could the tools be RFID tagged with sensors on all entry/exit points?

Given the computing power that is likely to be in the building, how about
just connecting the CCTV system to the cloud?  You know how many of those
little snapie happie cameras can now do face recog?  How about a FLOSS app
to do 'tool recog'?

So if some tech drops the tool in his kit by mistake (and I can see a simple
honest mistake like that happening), the system just pings the security
guard a quick IM and it gets recovered before exiting the building... no
harm no foul.

Technology investment to secure a $2 screw driver...  $5b, value of first
AUNOG post with video clip of the guy getting searched for said driver...
priceless.

To much? :)
