If he pulls a gun and demands money, striking him with the rising glass cage
shouldn't be an issue.  However, if Aunt Ida is standing there depositing her
social security check and the teller accidentally hits the button, her lawyer
will be ready for you.  :^)

That's true but you'd probably want to implement your system in such a way that
two or more people standing together at the teller would not be a problem.

Understood.  As I mentioned earlier, I've thought about this sort of thing and
the kinds of problems that one would need to overcome.  It's an interesting
idea.  Bob Campbell works with physical as well as electronic security.  Now
that he's back in the frozen North, perhaps he may have some ideas on the
subject.
