It would be funny if this spawned a bunch of copy cats which then drives down the incidents of package theft because thiefs are paranoid of getting prank packages.

I bet somebody will soon start selling this as a product. And people will just send them to their friends instead of targeting package thiefs. "Pranked you bro!" Then there will be a bunch of backlash.

No camera or motorized glitter-whipper on this though. Being able to see your victim's face and reaction is what really makes it.
Just in time for me to sell my GlitterBombDetector TM.
