Arming ATMs
Banks have armed ATMs. They have taken the idea from the bombardier beetle. The beetle has a chemical inside it’s body that it can spray at people. The chemicals have the ability to burn your skin. Scientists put hydrogen peroxide and manganese together. They are separated by a lacquer.If you break the lacquer you will get the reaction. They could also make the machine foam if somebody begins tampering.
I chose this story because I found it very interesting that they are considering giving ATMs so much power. I also chose this so I could follow up on other stories if something went wrong.
yikes! that mustt hurt
