Re: Sensing stuff

["Stuart Grimshaw" <stuart@xxxxxxx>]

My first job was as a Computer Operator for a large security company. One
weekend the pipes burst near the computer room, and water was creaping down
the corridor toward the equipment.

The circuit breaker for the room was on the opposite side of the wall,
behind a door to which none of our swipe cards worked. It took 3 of us and
a
large fire extinguishire 15 minutes to get through it!! :-) Had the alarm
been on and we been intruders we would have surely set off some alarm in
our
brute force efforts to get in

So there are products on the market that do the job well enough,

PS. Isn't it good when you get to smash your own offices up :-)
