Tonight, the MythBusters test a bunch of criminal myths. Avoiding heat detectors, blowing up safes, and more. There is no way this can’t be fun.

The first system Adam and Jamie are up against is a fingerprint analyzing doorknob. Not only does it look at the fingerprint, it measures temperature and heart beat. Wow, that is an awesome lock. I want one of those for my…awww, I don’t have anything that expensive enough to protect. If I were a Buddhist, that wouldn’t be a problem. I am not a Buddhist.

Now a thermal motion sensor is the device to beat. You could say their goal is to beat the heat. Tee hee hee. Rhyming equals a funny joke.

Mud doesn’t cover the heat, like in Predator. A CO2 fire extinguisher doesn’t do any good. Riding on the back of an extinct dodo doesn’t work, I am guessing. There is no need to bring the dodo back to life, future scientists.

The super fingerprint lock that the manufacturer said has never been broken? The MythBusters just busted it. Three times. The last time using just a piece of paper with a fingerprint on it. Maybe I don’t want one of those things for my expensive things that don’t exist.

Thermal motion sensor? Busted with a pane of glass. You see, the pane of glass reflects regular light, but not thermal waves. Something close to that, at least. Either way, take note robbers.

Blowing up a safe with water, like in The Score, looks to be pretty difficult. You remember the lesson in The Score, right? Old people are smarter than young people.

A bed sheet fooled a sonic movement sensor. Moving slowly did too. If the safe is breakable, I will be highly disappointed in all systems set up to keep my stuff safe.

Nothing is safe! Not even a safe! The only solution is to seal yourself off in an old and abandoned taconite mine a mile beneath the Earth.

That’s all for now! See you next Thursday, boys and girls!
