Rhobite Premium join:2002-02-24 Cambridge, MA clubs: 1 edit	Re: Or if the kid were smart Looks like there are "security" screws on the faceplate. So the kid would have to take a dremel to a flathead screwdriver, which isn't too hard. Edit: looked at the bigger picture, actually it looks like they're allen screws which are even easier. Come on at least they could have used torx (aka compaq) screws. -- Jimmysquid.com - I take pictures.

First thing I thought. Apparently they have never seen "child proof" medicine bottles. Either they have way under-described the physical security of this device, or any kid with an Allen wrench will be able to get into it and bypass it within about 3 minutes.

And promptly get his ass beat for not listening. I agree with you Mospaw, it is easy to bypass it.

Same here, I didn't even read the article fully, I just thought, well, that's dumb, all the kid needs is an allen wrench and some wire clippers, and boom, the thing comes off, you splice the cables together, and you've got it.
