BodyGard: 5-in-1 Paranoia in Your Pocket

There’s a scene in The Game where Michael Douglas’s character is stuck in a taxi that has driven off a pier and is submerged underwater. As it quickly fills with water, he remembers a window knob someone had given him earlier, which he uses to crank a window open and escape.
While carrying a window knob around is a wee bit impractical, the BodyGard fits in your pocket. The key fob is designed to remedy the underwater-car situation handily, among others. Besides being a compact car-window-breaker, the BodyGard employs a high-carbon steel seatbelt cutter, high-decibel alarm, bright flashing LED, and a flashlight.
That, again, is “convergence,” friends. If your loved one is at all utilitarian-minded or just plain paranoid, this gift is a perfect stocking stuffer at only $15.

Paranoia can be a good thing…for the salesman. I think I would rather die in a taxi submerged with water than edure the shame and ridicule from my friends and family for possessing this….

Matt, this is great. My ultra-paranoid girlfriend will love this. We were discussing being trapped in a sinking car the other day. No joke. And the alarm function is nice. She’s always afraid some psychopath is going to jump out an kill her. She watches Lifetime way too much! I wonder if I can call the cable company to have that channel blocked. Thanks again. I need to find stocking stuffers as my stocking is filling up and it’s only the first week in December…wtf? My girlfriend’s stocking is empty. Go me!

I wonder if this will make it through airport security?
