Unusual Security

Tear Gas

What comes to mind when you hear, security systems? If you’re like me you typically think of locks, alarms, and cameras. While thinking about unusual security systems what comes to your mind?  I bet tear gas isn’t something you would have considered. Well, it appears this unusual security system was used in 1953. The Delaware Trust Company in Wilmington, Delaware thought it was the perfect security system. Unfortunately, just like security systems today, they go off accidentally.
