I’ve seen a lot of security devices for travelers, but many of them tend to be alarms that sound when someone attempts to open the door. The Veritas Travelers Doorstop is designed more to keep out intruders than to merely alert you to someone breaking in. It’s made of a solid aluminum wedge with a

Remember watching the Jetsons as a kid, with their video phone, video doorbell, and flying car?
