I would like to thank Mother Nature for providing the ultimate tampering evidence provider. First, measure the distance between the two points or surfaces that you would like to tamper seal. This may be as small as half an inch in the case of a computer case and its cover. Then fashion an instrument with ends matching that distance. Locate a piece of silk from your yard that matches the length, and carefully place on the instrument. Transfer the silk from the instrument to the surfaces. At this point, I'm sure you have the idea. How much time can the feds spend looking for spider web trip wires while sabotaging your computer?
Today I tried this idea, and was surprised at how strong a single silk thread can be when cautiously handled. It was even easy to press the ends of the silk thread to a surface without the thread sticking to my fingers. If there are cobwebs around the area to be tripwired, so much the better.
Have a nice day.
