The RA-100 (Rubber Adapter) was designed to draw additional attention to the orange traffic cone by adding motion and highly reflective colors. The rubber adapter supports Safe T Spin's warning signal on top of the cone, creating 360 degrees of attention, day or night. The adapter fits easily onto all cones. Recently, a theft-proof warning signal with adapter has become available. Additional information is available on request.
The STB-300 (Standard Bracket) is one on our most popular signals, because the bracket can be adapted to other safety control devices, such as the orange construction barrel.
(Designed especially for the U.S. Postal Service) trucks, making frequent stops had many side and rear end accidents, some fatal. A mirror clamp-warning signal proved to be very successful. It created additional attention to the vehicles.
Transporting horses during the day and night requires much care. Safe T Spin has developed a special highway-warning signal, which will fit readily to any style horse trailer. The bracket design allows easy removal and replacement of the signal as needed. No special wiring necessary. Designed to spin in the wind, demands attention of other motorists. A small investment for safety.
The HZMQ-2000 (Highly Visible Quad) whenever you want to be seen above everyone else, this is the signal you want. Great for slow moving heavy equipment and trucks in and around airports. Can be driven at reasonable speeds, has four strong magnets. Twelve colored reflective panels create much attention, (no wiring necessary).
The DBMS-350 (Police Warning Control Signal) was developed for use by police as a warning signal that can be set up quickly to control traffic until additional help arrives.
Safe T Spin not only creates extra attention for wide load trucks during the day with its spinning motion and bright colors, but demands attention at night as well. After dark red warning flags lose their effectiveness and that is when Safe T Spin really stands our with it's reflective colored labels spinning.
This product features clamps that allow easy repositioning of the signal. It is convenient for applications such as farm tractors and equipment in tow that would benefit from the enhanced visibility of warning signals.

Sounds convincing. Liberty is losing out against security and comfort. Basically, people want what rich people have, and rich people have no personal privacy. They are surrounded by servants who know everything about them.
Paul Krugman argues that we’ll give up our privacy because we want to emulate the rich, who are surrounded by servants who know everything about them:
Consider the Varian rule, which says that you can forecast the future by looking at what the rich have today — that is, that what affluent people will want in the future is, in general, something like what only the truly rich can afford right now. Well, one thing that’s very clear if you spend any time around the rich — and one of the very few things that I, who by and large never worry about money, sometimes envy — is that rich people don’t wait in line. They have minions who ensure that there’s a car waiting at the curb, that the maitre-d escorts them straight to their table, that there’s a staff member to hand them their keys and their bags are already in the room.
And it’s fairly obvious how smart wristbands could replicate some of that for the merely affluent. Your reservation app provides the restaurant with the data it needs to recognize your wristband, and maybe causes your table to flash up on your watch, so you don’t mill around at the entrance, you just walk in and sit down (which already happens in Disney World.) You walk straight into the concert or movie you’ve bought tickets for, no need even to have your phone scanned. And I’m sure there’s much more — all kinds of context-specific services that you won’t even have to ask for, because systems that track you know what you’re up to and what you’re about to need.
Another essay that argues that we have entered recursive hall of mirrors of seeing and being seen, and what that means to how we will develop in future. Reminds me of the analogy between privacy and undeveloped film – you need a part of yourself that’s not exposed to light (yet), if you want to be able to retain your integrity as a person:
Daniel C. Dennett and Deb Roy look at our loss of privacy in evolutionary terms, and see all sorts of adaptations coming:
The tremendous change in our world triggered by this media inundation can be summed up in a word: transparency. We can now see further, faster, and more cheaply and easily than ever before — and we can be seen. And you and I can see that everyone can see what we see, in a recursive hall of mirrors of mutual knowledge that both enables and hobbles. The age-old game of hide-and-seek that has shaped all life on the planet has suddenly shifted its playing field, its equipment and its rules. The players who cannot adjust will not last long.
The impact on our organizations and institutions will be profound. Governments, armies, churches, universities, banks and companies all evolved to thrive in a relatively murky epistemological environment, in which most knowledge was local, secrets were easily kept, and individuals were, if not blind, myopic. When these organizations suddenly find themselves exposed to daylight, they quickly discover that they can no longer rely on old methods; they must respond to the new transparency or go extinct. Just as a living cell needs an effective membrane to protect its internal machinery from the vicissitudes of the outside world, so human organizations need a protective interface between their internal affairs and the public world, and the old interfaces are losing their effectiveness.
