What do you do when you have a few transistors, some capacitors, a lot of mirrors, a bunch of HandiTak and one laser? If you are McGyver, probably a intercontinental ballistic missile interceptor. If you are Kipkay, you'll do a laser-based home alarm system similar to the one used in Entrapment, the movie. And if this wasn't a good enough excuse to post the picture above, you can jump to see the video on how it is all done.
All this is great, but what the heck is El Zorro doing with a Maglite? And does the inventor have a side-job as voice-over actor for QVC? These are the questions that bug me about this whole thing, but Catherine makes up for all of them. [Instructables]

A few years ago I'd have trapped that ass like a looter in a riot. These days I can't help but think she isn't aging so well.
@Xavoc: Besides, the breakdancing guy from Oceans 12 did it with a lot more style.
On the other hand this would be cute. Especially if the receiving unit could trigger the laser from Real Genius back along the same return route of mirrors when the beam was interrupted.
@Xavoc: POPCORN
Can I use a higher current AC adapter to melt my burglars with a laser beam instead?
LOL!
Jesus, you're fucking hilarious.
Dammit. That picture reminds me that it's still over a week before I get back home and see my girlfriend.
AND I still have two exams to write before that.
Bummer.
@mangochutney: Bummer dude, you're gonna miss Steak & a BJ day.
DAMN. That is all.
@bobide: Probably, but I wouldn't recommend it.
@mangochutney and Xavoc: Don't worry Mango. Xavoc and I will make sure she celebrates the holiday in style. Oooohhhhh....Sorry. Couldn't help myself.
More importantly, I heard J-Lo was originally considered for that part. I can see how she didn't "make the cut."
@Xavoc: You name it.
the guy soujnds like the host of FutureWeapons.
Not a great movie but a great ass. That scene will be etched in my memory forever. Ah, young love ... well, young lust at any rate.
@92BuickLeSabre: I don't quite see you taking a journey across the pond for a steak and a BJ.
While we're talking, what holiday is coming up in the US?
why does he sound like a cheap infomercial?
There is a reason that you dont see these in the wild. They dont work well for a security system even though they look very cool.
@Xavoc:
What'choo talking 'bout? Catherine is still FAFH.
@mangochutney:
damn feminists won't let us nationally recognize that day...something about the meaning being "exacerbated in translation". Honestly, I really don't see what the big deal is
@mangochutney: it depends on how good the steak is.
I started licking the monitor upon seing the picture and when they said "video," I figured it was her lovely self slithering amongst the laser beams... but no - it's some shmo looking stupid - thanks for ruining a perfectly good happy ending giz!
@Xavoc: Vincent Cassell in "Ocean's 12"? That was Capoeira. But, it is pretty well documented that kids doing Capoeira moves in NYC during the early 80's had a huge influence on break dancing, so they are very related.
@Xavoc:
What'choo talking 'bout? Catherine is still FAFH.
"Food Away From Home?
@92BuickLeSabre: Well, that can be managed, I can't wait to fire up my BBQ grill for the first time this year.
Next semester will be less work intensive than the past one, so there'll be many occasions you can drop by.
There's always alot of self-prepared meat, fresh bread, a couple of salads made by my best friends girlfriends and enough cool beer for everyone.
@trailingedge: clearly he means Friendly And Frankly Hospitable.
@trailingedge:
Fine as F'ing Hell!
There is another form thats HARd to find..
There is an atmospheric/barometric/air movement one thats about $60. And when a Door or window is opened in a TIGHT home, it goes off.
This is cool also, but is better for 1 room.
Another is adding this to a PHONE DIALER, or computer.
To call out(to you) or take pictures of WHATS happening.
FAFH = Far Away From Here?
Steak and a BJ? Is that some kind of steak sauce?
@Mandatory_Field: Cause my girlfriend said something about that, but she's not much of a cook, frankly....
@discounteggroll: Why ruin what could be the best holiday of the year?
It was a body double, she didn't have that good of a curve, whenever you see a shot with great body, you won't see her face.
I'm sorry, were there words associated with this post? I can't take my eyes off of that picture 0_0
@Xavoc: OK GOD... LEMME HAVIT!!!! (note Val Kilmer with bunny slippers)
+ Watch video
@ballashoes: MMMMM, looks good. . .
Surgeon General's warning: Smoking cigarettes may reveal hidden laser traps.
...frickin' laser beams...
ahh young(er) catherine. Before she caught Olditis from douglas.
Cutting the cheese(wire).
I think that was a body double? Or I should say, Butt double. Notice that they hid the face behind the wooden post?
Terrible movie overall, great individual scene with Zeta-Jones though.
Nice... laser.
FFS, how did M Douglas get to hump as ass like THAT every night?
Does she just like pugs or something? Wrinkle fetish?
Mmmmmm, I should watch that movie again... or at least that scene. Lol all joking aside, neat trick. Kipkay is the Man!
lol that ass isn't getting past ANY laser system!!!
... instead of all that.. buy a cheap night light - one of the ones that turns on automatically when it gets dark - cut the wires that go to the light and replace that part with the siren.. set the laser up same way as in this - and wala same thing only easier and much faster.
did this back in 8th grade - only.. instead of a siren I had mine trigger a spark from one of those model rocket sets - the wires went into a glass jar filled with bleach crystals.. and boom nice home made trip wire bomb. ..... and a trip to the hospital..
mom was not as impressed as I was.
mmm... CJ's bottom
