Just a really simple idea that I had for building security, and I was wondering what you thought about it. And ways to circumvent it.

Basically, taking the long plastic drapes that you see in food services and stuff. Clear plastic, about 1/16 inch thick, goes from cieling to floor. Today they're used for keeping flys out of a room, or temperature, breeze, etc. The pieces are about a foot wide, and overlap by a few inches. They are made so that anybody can just walk through them and they part away.

Now, take those, and drape them accross a halway, with a camera or some kind of motion sensor on them. Along comes mr. invisible shadowrunner. Any attempt to walk through it is easy enough, but sets off some alarm, from the plasitc sheets moving. For being really secure, add a ward to it to stop astral's.


So, any ideas on how a runner can get by them?
