Apparently they are good for detaining burglars. I came across this page while looking for a new firewire cable. Let’s just say the 5th feature got my attention.
If you need to detain a burglar until the authorities arrive, this FireWire cable can render approximately three perpetrators immobile when properly hog-tied. For more help, contact a Geek Squad agent immediately.
Just in case they update the page, here’s a snap shot (no Photoshopping).
Hopefully I’ll never have to try that feature, but if I do I’ll let everyone know how I made out.
