NEVADA BASED COMPANY INTRODUCES
PERSONAL SECURITY SYSTEM AT CES SHOW

Las Vegas…"James Bond-type technology is now available to the general public at an affordable price," according to MRSI® International, Inc. President/CEO Michael C. Rabanne. The company will unveil its FoolProof® Personal Security System at the CES Show in Las Vegas, Nevada on January 8-11. The portable system is designed to help consumers monitor and protect their personal possessions from theft or loss 24 hours a day.

Rabanne said he originally conceived the system to be used on laptop computers, after a former co-worker returned frustrated from a business trip after her laptop was either lost or stolen. He said that in addition to laptops, the system is perfect for briefcases, golf bags, backpacks and other desirable products that are often misplaced or major targets of theft. "The applications are really limitless," he added.

The FoolProof® system consists of a master unit about the size of a small cell phone, and smaller remote devices that are placed in or on the objects that are to be monitored. One master unit can monitor multiple remote devices or possessions at any time. When the remote devices (and the possessions being monitored that are with them) are removed from a designated proximity, the master unit first alerts the user by a discrete vibration. At the same time, and LCD screen on the master unit will identify which remote devices are being removed (the remote devices can be named by their user). If the user does not respond to the vibration, the master unit will then notify the user by and audible alarm. FoolProof® users can program specific distances, alert modes, and which remote device/objects are to be monitored at any given time.

According to MRSI® Vice President Steve Ivie, co-designer of the original FoolProof® system, "Although there are some other personal security systems on the market today, FoolProof, has the unique feature of distinguishing specific items when misplaced or being removed. Part of the real beauty of the FoolProof® system is that users can actually identify which items are being tampered with or removed. Moreover, they can program their master units to only monitor certain items at one time, if they so desire."

Since each individual FoolProof® security system operates on a unique coding an unlimited number of FoolProof® systems can operate in the same vicinity without interfering with one another.

Another feature found on FoolProof® is a tracking tool that allows a user to locate specific remote devices/personal effects. This means that as the master unit gets closer to the remote device, it indicates a decreasing distance.
Suggested retail price for the FoolProof® system is $299.99, which includes one master unit and one remote device. Additional remote devices can be purchased two per pack for $99.99. Retailers can place product orders and receive shipping date information at the CES show in Las Vegas.

MRSI International, Inc. was founded in Utah in 1997 as a development resource for state-of-the-art electronic inventions that simplify every day life.
