It might be amusing to attach a transponder to each pocketable expensive 
item (I seem to recall a small gadget one could attach to key chains that 
would chirp if you lost the keys and activated it with a whistle or 
handclap or whatever), and ping them once you were through security. Of 
course, you might not find it so amusing as you sit in jail for the next 10 
years.
