If someone attempts to mug you, you have an easy way to draw attention to your situation - and maybe even make the thief retreat, holding his ears to keep out the shrill noise. Jeremy Becker ID2139 - When looking into security for your day pack, consider mini carabiners (climbing clamps) as opposed to mini combination locks. Just loop the carabiners through the holes of the zippers so that they are fastened together. This prevents having to remember a combo and fiddle with the lock, but effectively deters theives.
