It would have to be something that won't get accidentally activated all the time like car alarms do now (typically the "panic" button getting pressed accidentally in pockets/purses). Otherwise, I feel we'd be back to where we started.
Maybe something old school like a whistle or something?
I feel like this already exists and is called a rape whistle. Although, to be fair, I'm honestly not sure how effective that would be. If a woman is being attacked, would she have time to actually blow this whistle?
Have you heard of personal alarms? They're tiny but incredibly loud and typically has a bright flash light.
No, I have not actually heard of these. I will have to look them up. Thanks for the information.
I was thinking of getting one. But I'm afraid people would ignore it due to all the useless car alarms.
I don't know what he expected there. You give a room full of people whistles, and that's gonna happen. 😆
