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.

A Chasity Belt?
I was with a girl, trying to unhook her bra from the back, and she finally unhooked it from the front, as it was designed. From then on, she always let me know when she was wearing that bra.
Okay, enough of this. That didn't last long...
Bingo works 100% of the time.
So you’re saying that a drunk woman will rip off her own bra and panties, rather than stay in her stupor and not even bother removing one article of clothing? That seems a bit unusual to me.
Please confirm your knickers are not in a twist.
Geez, to think that in my younger days, my biggest challenge with a bra was getting it unhooked with one hand. Now I’ve got to try to disarm the damned thing too???
Otherwise known under the trademark "Beau-NO!" :-)
...help is dispatched.
The woman hears screaming in a nearby house and goes down to meet the squad car. She slaps the trunk to get the attention of the officers. The officer riding shotgun is a jumpy moslem easily startled by loud noises.
The whipped cream bra is the "kinder and gentler" version of the one on the right.
By the time help arrives, it’s done! Carry a gun if you can’t carry a cop.
I am saying someone who sleeps undressed because they feel too hot clothes will at least try to undress before sleeping.
That may not affect you (and you may not have much experience living with other people to be aware of how widespread that is) but it is not in the least bit unusual.
I was not givin to believe by the article treatment of the bra needed to be so forceful that it tore before alerting the monitoring service, or that upper and lower undergarments had.to be disturbed.
“Ma? No I’m fine, I just tossed my bra across the room to the laundry pile.”
(Chuckling, drunken laughter in the background.)

Dot Matrix: That, was my virgin alarm. It’s programmed to go off before you do.
It did in Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, South Carolina...
Yeah, that’s good. I don’t see it changing in the north and west of the Mississippi and certainly not along the west coast.
Well, I can foresee a whole new line of business to get into ... bra alarm deactivation.
TV ad: "When you just can't remember how to deactivate your bra alarm device, call our experts and we can act to protect your precious payload by rendering your bra alarm/detonation device inactive."
You’re in good hands with BraSafe ...
Expect the competition to be ... [ahem] ... stiff.
