http://www.thetechstop.net/?page_id=957

If there's one thing that us uberGeeks know, it's that physical security is a lot harder to setup than the electronic kind: keys can be stolen, locks can be picked, and our stuff can quickly make its way out the door.

But what if your lock wasn't a lock, but a masterpiece of steel and electronics? --

On this episode of 'gadget' we take a look at the AP501 Digital Deadbolt from Sunnect. This $300 device combines solid security with electronic convienence to give you the piece of mind you're looking for.

See, what happens if the sensor where the RFID is recognized is shot at/punctured/bludgeoned, or what if the keys themselves are damaged. How then would one get into the door?

Other than that, great review! These seem really really cool!

[gadgettts]

Well the sensor is actually embedded into the device, the ring is just to give the user an idea of where they should put the key. Also, the RFID/Keypad gives you two ways to get in.

Any force that is enough to destroy BOTH authentication devices (and that's a LOT of force) would probably have destroyed the door first!

About 5 months before I left SJ. Big bummer. It wasn't my laptop, but it was in the main part of the office. (I wish it was in my office proper... then I would have had video of the jerk!)
