Porch pirates will have to up their game


Watch on YouTube

Most of the porch pirate countermeasures I've heard of are deterrents like glitter bombs or scary noises or surveillance cameras, but eventually deterrents lose their effectiveness. This isn't a deterrent, per se, it's a barrier. Porch pirates will need to figure out how to break into these in order to steal what's inside and they won't even know if there's anything inside or not to decide if it's worth their time. It significantly alters the economics of porch piracy.

Lack of oxygen might stop you from clicking things though

Not only will this not stop computer viruses, I don't think this is going to do such a good job of stopping biological viruses either, and it's not terribly safe. 

Don't try this at home.
