hong kong phooey not included

Man Indicted Over Bogus Security Device [ap via abc news, july 7, 2004]

A husband and wife have been indicted on charges they tried to pass off a filing cabinet as a security device that could protect people against chemical and biological attacks in the wake of the 2001 terrorist attacks.

Federal authorities say the filing cabinet, which was painted yellow and had a siren and flashing red light attached, was promoted by Stewart Kaiser in a press release that helped him sell his company’s stock at inflated prices.

it seems that filing cabinets painted yellow with flashing lights attached don’t offer much protection against biological or chemical weapons, or, for that matter, fraudulent business people.

hong kong phooey would do something about this.
