A new adhesive device that attaches to bras or underwear can detect when an article of clothing is forcefully removed.
Inventors at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) hope it can help prevent rape and sexual assault.
Conceived by MIT researcher Manisha Mohan, this garment add-on can sense violent removal, and sends a prompt to the wearer asking her to confirm consent.
If the owner doesn't respond within a set time, the tape uses a Bluetooth connection to alert five pre-selected phone contacts to the danger. It also sends a GPS location to them and begins recording audio.
This device, part of the Intrepid project at MIT, tracks how a person normally takes off her clothes, and can differentiate between routine and violent removal of clothing for each individual wearer.
Intrepid operates in two different ways: either actively, when the wearer is unable to resist an assault, or passively, when the wearer is cognizant and able to activate the device.

I got to get me some of these, I can think of quite a few Congress Critters Yards to set them off in.
Easily defeated. Rapists will now just buy a jammer and keep it near them.
Beyond Stoopid.
Why not carry a gun?
How long until it (the device) is hacked and “I’m innocent, it was hacked” is presented as a defense?
Will there be “SWATTING” incidents?
My buddy and his 1st wife used to play a game called RAPE. They enjoyed it until they got divorced.
ridiculous.
Isn’t that like the Tactical Women’s Alert Team?
That was my thought. Childish clown marketing to childish clown consumers.
....Beyond Stoopid.
Why not carry a gun...
Because this was designed by liberals who don’t believe in self help self defense.
A better solution would be to teach women to carry a gun at all times, and learn how to shoot it. Learn how to carry and use a knife, too.
I prefer women who wear a different kind of protective bra . . .
A woman goes out (perhaps with the people she works with) gets drunk, has another lady drive her home. Too drunk to undress properly, she accidentally sets the alarm off on her bra before passing out.
Detecting her to be unresponsive, help is dispatched.
Most university campuses are gun-free zones, and I don’t see that changing much in the foreseeable future.
So...what did the bra say to the hat?
You go on a head. I’ll give these two a lift.
Just get a taser attachment for the bra.
Can’t you just hear it now, “Don’t taze me bra!”
they have got to be kidding
Contrived, but still funny.
I don't actually see how this statement can be literally true.
A Chasity Belt?
