Key Fob's Panic Button Sets Off Car Horn
I stumbled onto an idea someone may already have thought of, but here it is anyway. As I was sitting at our kitchen table one day my wife wanted me to use a key fob to unlock the car doors. The car was parked about 60 ft. away from me. Instead of unlocking it, I accidentally pushed the fob’s panic button which set off the horn. It got me thinking that if someone was hurt or got sick at home alone, they could hit the red button on their key fob and the horn would blast away. After it kept honking someone would surely come to your aid. Or, if there’s a home break-in they could use this idea to scare off burglars. (Gary Swensen (g_swensen@msn.com)
