Are these the little "personal alarm" devices they mkt to joggers? If so,
they are awesome in their ability to produce noise. Some kids in my
neighborhood tied one to a sock, pulled the pin, and threw it into a cranky
old man's tree - at about 0300 one morning. It took the fire dept. to
disable the thing. Mean time the entire neighborhood was awake and pissed.

One would certainly make a thief drop your bag, were he to grab it and
activate the alarm.
