“My toddler set off the alarms. Oops. Swift, effective, unobtrusive, friendly security.”

Reminds me of the time I took a few little kids to the Patton Museum at Ft. Knox (when it was there and they had tanks there). One of the little “spastic” kids was “crawling” around on some historically rare sword display and apparently set off a silent alarm.

Wasn’t but a few seconds after I told the kid to get off of it, I was met by about 4 MPs.

Wasn’t even being spastic. Just reached out to touch the shiny, cool display.

Story 1) “My toddler set off the alarms. Oops. Swift, effective, unobtrusive, friendly security.”

Story 2) Reminds me of the time I took a few little kids to the Patton Museum at Ft. Knox (when it was there and they had tanks there). One of the little “spastic” kids was “crawling” around on some historically rare sword display and apparently set off a silent alarm. Wasn’t but a few seconds after I told the kid to get off of it, I was met by about 4 MPs.

Story 3) When I went to Sanckt Peterborgya, Russia, in 1996 I got to visit many important historical sites, including PeterHof, the Peter the Great's summer palace. I was the typical loud American, literally wearing a cowboy hat and speaking too loudly. When I got too close to one significant display, one of the Russians who was a military guard, pointedly (AND LOUDLY) clicked off the safety on his AK-47.

I peered at him. He looked all of 15 years of age, and had a stoney expression that said, "Why yes, I would be thrilled to kill you, Loud American." I backed the hell off.

So, the morale of the story is that Laz is basically a spastic kid.
