Thanks... for all the crap everyone else lays on Bass here, this has been the
single most useful response I've had yet (and I can't believe I didn't think to
check howstuffworks.com before).

Alarman's second link is good too.

I looked at the howstuffworks site and almost suggested it. The
reason I didn't is because it said something about the 'typical'
perimeter system uses "laser beams" (when referring to PE beams). I
stopped reading right then.

If you could get a copy of the NBFAA level one manual that would be
perfect I'd think.
