[IS&T Security-FYI] Laptop Registrations Today

[Monique Yeaton]

The MIT Police Department will be holding Laptop Registrations today,  
September 4th, from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Johnson Athletic Center.

Laptop Tagging and Registration uses the STOP (Security Tracking of  
Office Products) tag. STOP tags are a loss prevention measure and are  
a visible deterrent to small electronic devices. Once applied it  
takes 24 hours for the glue to cure. Then it takes up to 800 pounds  
of pressure to remove the tag. If removed, it leaves a tattoo stating  
stolen property. Each item tagged cost $10 cash. Tech Cash is not  
accepted.

Laptop Tagging and Registrations happen regularly throughout the  
school year. Check the Crime Prevention Unit website for the schedule  
and further information.
