  I think this poster is simply saying: Use More Tape. That will cover the contacts and provide all the mechanical support you need. But it will make everything a sticky mess if you try to take it apart and use the parts elsewhere.

  I agree that it would be a fire marshall's delight as it is now - but a commercial version wouldn't have any of the failings you point out, and would have all of the advantages. It is, after all, a prototype device, and not intended to have all the features of a production model.

  Down, boy (or girl). To reiterate prev. points:
  
  1) As is, the product not up to fire code. There's effectively no fire code for your house, so you can do pretty much anything stupid you want, but a commercial entity can't. That said, as to your house, remember that stupid stuff voids insurance clauses, so, if any of your stuff is *really* stupid, be prepared to lose everything. Oh, and, if it's a leased/rented property, be prepared to be sued. Welcome to the age of personal responsibility.
  
  2) As to the product, the discussion has already pointed out that this is a prototype, and that a production model would incorporate code-compliant features. Not because they're "pussies," but because no one wants to be responsible for a fire/loss of life, whether or not s/he is sued. And, like it or not, commercial products have to incorporate these kinds of requirements.

  Sure, no one wants to burn a building down, but...
  
  <h1>It's a home made prototype!!!</h1>
  
  You all wish you had thought of it and are picking a great concept appart by the only angle possible!!!
