When you declare a atm card as stolen, it goes into database.
If an atm detects a stolen card in use, it sprays yellow paint on the suspect and calls for the cops automagically.-- mofosyne, Jan 12 2011 I like anything that happens automagically-- saprolite, Jan 13 2011 [unfortunate momentary voltage spike] [Akimbomidget] slides his card in reader on ATM [false] [stolen card detected] Spraying sounds ensue-- normzone, Jan 13 2011 This could be combined with the P*nic P*N idea.-- Wrongfellow, Jan 13 2011 You type in your Panic Pin, you get sprayed with yellow paint, the police have less difficulty determining a motive when they find your body?-- kaz, Jan 14 2011 Would this also happen when my bank "detects unusual activity" on my account? Because that happens pretty much hourly with me.
A similar scheme could exist at supermarkets where cashiers are provided with dye-filled water bombs.-- idris83, Jan 14 2011 What's antisarcasm? Is it some sort of desnarking compound?-- mouseposture, Jan 15 2011 random, halfbakery
