Shameless Plugs for Travel Items

Here's a simple idea that serves a dual purpose...if someone attempts to enter your room while you are inside, this $10 alarm alerts you and probably scares them off. When in your hotel or dorm room, close and lock your door and slip the hang cord over the inside door handle. Then hang on door handle inside your room and activate the alarm. If the door is opened, the vibration activates a loud alarm sound.

• Loud door movement security alarm
  
• Great for dorm rooms, as well as hotel and motel rooms
  
• When you are out of the room
  
• Measures 4 x 1-3/4 x 1" for easy packing
  
• Uses common 9 volt battery, included
  
• Simple on-off operation

The downside: You trust your safety to a $10.00 alarm and a $0.25 battery.
