When police in Washington apprehended bank robber Thomas Fricks minutes after fleeing the scene of crime Fricks remarked: “You guys are good”. What Fricks didn’t know at the time was that one of the bundles of bills stuffed into a duffel bag was actually a disguised GPS transmitter.The device, developed by 3SI in the US, has a realistic flex and feel and can be concealed in bundle of less than 100 notes.
GPS, and other developments in technology, will be addressed in ARC Training’s new Specifying Security Technology Course, due for 2008.
