Samsung Luce is a touch sensitive ... door handle?
Samsung has decided to boldly go where no other touch-sensitive phone manufacturer has dared to go: doors. During the ISC West show in Las Vegas, Samsung unveiled Luce, a touch-sensitive door security system. The big seller here is that the Luce has replaced the traditional security keypad with a touch-sensitive display.
The touch-sensitive nature of Luce also makes it the most slim door security product available at 2.1 cm thick. The Luce just shows a glossy black finish when the door security is not in use, which can slightly minimize security problems. Also included in the system is a fire detector. If it sense temperatures above 131 degree Fahrenheit, it will automatically unlock so all individuals can escape.

So then wouldn't you be able to unlock the door by holding fire near it? That seems like a bad idea, somehow. And who locks the exit door from the inside anyway?

I'm thinking the same thing. One of those little kitchen torches would be a perfect key.

Since it is 2.1 cm thick it probably not that secure.

I keep thinking that someone could dust it with a little talc and see the spots you press and get a rough idea of your code. It would give them at least a starting point for a brute-force code attack.
