Magazine: Home Security Monthly is an electronics magazine about motion detection. Reading it teaches three recipes that fit a Motion Sensor to a homemade bomb.
The recipes are Add Short-Range Motion Sensor to Bomb, Add Medium-Range Motion Sensor to Bomb and Add Long-Range Motion Sensor to Bomb. They belong to the Electrical skill. A bomb with a motion sensor works as a trap, set off by movement nearby.
The magazine is found in loot, mostly in electronics stores, book stores and tool stores. Reading it also eases boredom and stress.
Uses
All three recipes take one bomb, one Motion Sensor and one Duct Tape. The bomb can be an Aerosol Bomb, a Fire Bomb, a Noise Maker, a Pipe Bomb or a Smoke Bomb. The work can be done on any surface.
The range sets the skill and the parts. Add Short-Range Motion Sensor to Bomb needs Electrical level 2 and two Scrap Electronics. Add Medium-Range Motion Sensor to Bomb needs Electrical level 4 and three Scrap Electronics. Add Long-Range Motion Sensor to Bomb needs Electrical level 6 and four Scrap Electronics.
The bombs come from their own recipes. The Engineer occupation starts with all five bomb recipes known, which pairs well with this magazine.
Like every magazine, it also counts as paper for armour. Make Magazine Body Armor takes eight magazines and four Duct Tape at Tailoring level 1. Make Magazine Limb Armor takes one magazine and two Duct Tape.

Locations
Electronics stores are the best place to look. Their counters hold it almost one time in five, and their shelves often too. Book store shelves and tool store shelves hold it less often. Bathrooms, bedroom small boxes, closets and attics turn one up now and then.

Notes
- Each sensor uses up one Motion Sensor and one Duct Tape.
- Longer range costs more Scrap Electronics and more skill.
- Five kinds of bomb accept a sensor, from the Noise Maker to the Pipe Bomb.
- A read copy still serves as Magazine Body Armor material.
