I have said it before, I couldn't retire and go to work doing what the CM's do in any of the parks! To bad they won't let you carry pepper spray, a little shot to the eyes, and junior will not want to climb shelves!!!

How about this. Many glass shelves I see have a decorative metal edging on the front. What if those are wired to one treminus of a prod and the other to ground. Or better yet wire the prod terminals to alternating shelves. Then when a climber appears, flip the switch.

DADDYYYYYY the shelf BIT me!

And come to think of it the same could be used for the front of "complaint desks" and counters. If an irate complainer shows signs of incipient violence, the desk fights back for you. And you can't be blamed for a "static buildup" deterring a potential problem. :D:

Love Star Tours but it could use an update.....A favorite memory-youngest son finally old enough to go on Star Tours,( but a little overwhelmed by some other rides he went on previously).We are all sitting there belted in and quiet,waiting for tour to start, and I hear his nervous little voice...."What are they going to DO TO US??????" :p:
