atm antiscam paint spray   (+3)  [vote for, against]

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.

I like anything that happens automagically

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?

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.

What's antisarcasm? Is it some sort of desnarking compound?
