    A single-board computer, radio modules, and the appropriate software. Trivial for someone with the technical knowledge. The only thing that made the flipper unique is that it comes pre-packaged.

      Any determined thief will just build their own, or one guy will do it and sell to all the thieves, this is the wrong solution.
