I love it when tech is unobtrusive and actually works in useful productive ways.

I'm mostly surprised someone hadn't thought of this before.]]>May 15th 2007 3:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/
So, its not new technology, just a new application.]]>May 15th 2007 5:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/
And as for those metal-framed backpacks...

Cool idea though.]]>May 15th 2007 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/May 15th 2007 4:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/May 15th 2007 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/May 15th 2007 5:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/Second, what good is a system that goes off everytime a car drives by, a kid rides his bike or cuts the lawn? In next to know time you would treat this just like I treat car alarms; I glance at the noise and then ignore it.
Third, what frikin war zone do you live in that you need to be aware of every person that appoaches your house, and treat them as a armed threat?]]>May 16th 2007 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/May 15th 2007 5:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/
I am more concerned about someone with a backpacking pack. The frames of those are made out of metal.]]>May 15th 2007 11:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/May 16th 2007 3:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/May 15th 2007 5:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/May 15th 2007 8:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/May 15th 2007 8:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/May 16th 2007 12:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/
Poachers are the only ones that walk -illegally- in them, so this can be a good way to find them.

It's good to see technology applied to another good cause.]]>May 16th 2007 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/May 21st 2007 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/internet-enabled-trailguard-metal-detectors-snitch-on-poachers/Source: "The trees have eyes," The Economist, June 7, 2007 (subscription required).
