>>> PERSONAL SAFETY IS SOMETHING ALL FAMILIES HAVE TO THINK ABOUT
WHETHER YOUR DAUGHTER IS AWAY AT
COLLEGE OR YOU WALK HOME ALONE
EVERY NIGHT AFTER WORK.
>> THE GOOD NEWS IS THERE ARE
MORE GADGETS AND TECH TO HELP
KEEP YOU SAFE, AND HERE TO
INFORM US IS FORMER SECRET AGENT
EDIE POMPORUS.
EDIE POMPORUS. >> WE NEED HELP MORE THAN EVER
BEFORE.
BEFORE. I FEEL PEOPLE ARE MORE WORRIED
ABOUT THEIR SAFETY AND YOU HAVE
TIPS TO MAKE US FEEL MORE SAFE.
>> WE’RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING
CALLED A SIP CHIP.
YOU KNOW HOW WE HEAR ABOUT
PEOPLE GOING OUT AND HAVING
DRINKS AND HAVING THEIR DRINKS
SPIKED?
SPIKED? >> YES.
>> YES. >> THIS IS A REALLY GREAT
DEVICE.
DEVICE. I’M GOING TO GIVE YOU ONE,
JENNA, AND YOU ONE, HODA.
JUST RIP IT OPEN.
>> WE CAN TAKE THIS WITH US --
>> YOU CAN PUT IT ON YOUR KEYS
AND CARRY IT WITH YOU, SO WHEN
SOMEBODY GIVES YOU A DRINK AND
YOU THINK IT COULD BE SPIKED,
YOU CAN TEST IT.
WE HAVE ONE THAT’S SPIKED AND
ONE THAT’S NOT.
WE’RE GOING TO TAKE THIS ONE
HERE.
HERE. WE HAVE A XANAX HERE.
SIP CHIP ACTUALLY GAVE IT TO US.
WE’RE GOING TO PUT IT IN THE
PINK ROSE.
PINK ROSE. THAT’S OUR SPIKED DRINK, THIS IS
OUR WHITE WINE DRINK.
SO WHEN YOU HAVE THE CHIP, YOU
JUST TAKE YOUR PINKY --
>> WE’LL LET THIS SIT FOR A
MINUTE.
MINUTE. >> NO, WE HAVE TO TEST IT.
>> THIS HAPPENS ACTUALLY REALLY
QUICKLY.
QUICKLY. IT ABSORBS IN SECONDS AND WE
JUST HAVE TO GIVE IT A SWIRL A
LITTLE BIT.
LITTLE BIT. FIRST WE’LL DO THIS ONE.
WE DON’T WANT TO CONTAMINATE IT.
HERE’S OUR CLEAN ONE, NOTHING IN
THERE, NOTHING SPIKED.
WE DROP IT IN THERE.
LET’S MAKE SURE WE DROP IT IN.
>> DO YOU WANT ME TO DO THE
ROSE?
ROSE? >> YEAH, YEAH, DROP IT IN THERE.
PERFECT.
PERFECT. >> I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO GET
DOWN IN THERE.
>> WE’LL LET THESE KIND OF WORK.
IT TAKES ABOUT TWO MINUTES.
>> THINK ABOUT WHAT PEACE OF
MIND THIS MIGHT GIVE PARENTS?
>> NO KIDDING.
A LOT OF GIRLS GO TO THE BAR,
THEY LEAVE THEIR DRINK FOR ONE
SECOND, THEY TURN AROUND AND WE
HEAR THOSE STORIES.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. SO THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE.
IT’S A NEW PIECE OF TECH.
IT’S CALLED A NIM RING.
THE NIM RING IS SOMETHING YOU
CAN JUST WEAR.
I THINK IT’S REALLY GOOD FOR
WHEN YOU’RE OUT RUNNING AND YOU
DON’T WANT TO CARRY ANYTHING.
WHEN YOU WEAR THE RING, YOU PUSH
THE BUTTON.
THE BUTTON. THERE IS A BUTTON ON THE SIDE.
YOU HOLD IT DOWN FOR ABOUT THREE
SECONDS AND IT SENDS OUT AN
ALERT.
ALERT. IT GOES STRAIGHT TO 911,
ESSENTIALLY.
ESSENTIALLY. AND YOU’RE SAYING, HEY, I NEED
HELP.
HELP. SO BECAUSE IT KNOWS WHERE YOU’RE
AT, IT WILL TRY TO --
>> LIKE A GPS, TOO.
>> EXACTLY.
>> EXACTLY. THEY’LL TRY TO CALL YOUR CELL
PHONE FIRST.
PHONE FIRST. IF YOU DON’T ANSWER YOUR CELL
PHONE FIRST, THEY’LL SAY, SHE’S
NOT ANSWERING, LET’S SEND
SOMEBODY TO HELP HER.
IT’S LIKE YOUR HOUSE ALARM,
RIGHT?
RIGHT? SOMEONE BREAKS IN, THE ALARM
GOES OFF, THEY CALL --
>> IT DOESN’T MAKE A SOUND, IT
JUST ALERTS SOMEBODY ELSE.
>> IS IT ONLY 911 OR DOES IT
CALL OTHER PEOPLE, TOO?
>> YOU CAN SET IT UP TO CONNECT
WITH FAMILY MEMBERS OR SOMEONE
YOU KNOW THAT YOU’RE UNDER
STRESS OR DISTRESS.
HELP ME, ABSOLUTELY.
>> WE JUST HAVE A FEW SECONDS
LEFT, BUT OFTEN YOU WANT TO KNOW
WHERE YOUR KIDS ARE, AND THERE
ARE WAYS TO TRACK YOUR CHILDREN.
>> 360.
>> 360. YOU CAN TRACK YOUR KIDS, YOU CAN
TRACK YOUR HUSBAND, YOU JUST PUT
IT ON THEIR PHONE.
THIS IS REALTIME AND YOU KNOW
WHAT EVERYBODY IS DOING.
>> THIS SHOWS YOU WHERE
EVERYBODY ELSE IS.
>> IT’S A LOCATION.
SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO TEXT
EVERYONE, WHERE ARE YOU, WHERE
ARE YOU, YOU SEE WHERE EVERYONE
IS.
IS. >> DO THEY NEED A PHONE FOR THAT
TO WORK?
ázoe TO WORK? >> THEY NEED A SMART DEVICE.Zd
DEVICE, YOU CAN PUT IT ON THAT. THAT WAS SUPER QUICK.
TWO LINES MEAN ESSENTIALLY THAT
THIS IS GOOD, CLEAN.
ONE LINE, BAD.
SO YOU KNOW NOT TO DRINK THIS.
THIS IS REALLY -- FOR ME I HAD
SOMEBODY DO THIS TO ME WHEN I
WAS 19 YEARS OLD, AND I DRANK
SOMETHING I SHOULD NOT HAVE
DRANK AND SO --
>> THIS COULD HAVE REALLY
HELPED.
