You know, Emily, that’s a really good point. I made control panels too, though they were to rocketships and the like, and a toy that can sense metals would have been great for my rocketship-asteroid-mining operations.

Rubber Gloves for strip searches still an add on version?

As an adult, I find this creepy.

However, I have to acknowledge that as a kid I would have loved it. Toy that detects metals! And has buttons that light up! I was constantly trying to make “control panels” out of sheets of cardboard with paper or plastic buttons glued on. *What* this was a user interface for was much less important.

Not that I would have played Airport Security with it. I’m pretty sure it would have starred in plot-lines involving space ships, pirate treasure, and/or the Swamp Fox.

Home wiretapping kit! Acclimatize your children to living in a police state by showing them how they can pretend to be the federal government by listening in on your phone conversations without a warrant!

Indefinate detainment without due process, of course, will be a hard-sell, since “Go to your room!” is an equivalent toy and is free.
