I feel if the SHTF you're going to want something a bit more out-in-the-open then a simple wrist band; that is, if there's a complete breakdown. I feel as if an armband would be the way to go. Of course, I suppose the best thing to do would be to play it relative to the situation at hand.

cholo style
Mexican/american gangster style.

I think this should be up to the staff of ATS. It is something that involves their website, which gives them the final say. And it should be something you get when you get to a set amount of points. Ensuring that not just anybody who signs up to ATS can get one. Also, it makes the point system worth something again.

But, it is a lot of work for the staff, so, who knows if they would want to spend money and time on it.
May be set up some guidelines, have someone who is a longstanding member of the website in charge of it.

That way the item that you choose to wear is standard for everyone, noticeable by everyone, and you are pretty secure that whoever is wearing it is a valued member of ATS.

Just some ideas.. take them as you will

A white flag with 3 bars on would be good. Especially when the SHTF and we are all fighting for survival on baron wasteland campsites

Lance Armstrong had those yellow "Livestrong" bands.

Why not get white ones with just 3 bars and sell them at the ATS Store. (Not the one at ATS Headquarters, but the internet one)

So now THEY know to shoot on site any one with this Sign!
Plus the Evil ATS'ers will know they have lots of food and stuff stored at home.
so they will shoot and rob you.
ATS. S for Secret. Trust NO one...

Beezzer, this is the best idea yet, imo. Cheap to make, cheap to buy and easy to wear. In fact, the band could be slimmer than the wide ones all other organizations use. It could have the logo "Deny Ignorance" imprinted or inked onto it. I like it and I would get one.

Out of curiosity, let's say you bump into someone wearing the same band/ring/ribbon, etc. What then? What do you do? Smile, nod and walk on? Stop and discuss a conspiracy theory? Argue about the latest UFO vid which is clearly CGI or isn't it? The rock on the moon that looks like an alien skull?

If the SHTF and society crumbles, pandemonium and chaos rule the streets and as you're desperately fending for your life or the lives of your family and you bump into someone wearing the same band/ring/ribbon, etc. What then?

I just want to know what exactly you people plan to do knowing you've met someone from ATS? I'm confused as to what you think or hope it will do?

This way DHS can quickly and easily identify us and take us to our awaiting FEMA cell.

Why? Did you do something wrong?

Let me explain something. If you're wearing socks, does that mean the FEMA will take you to an awaiting cell? No. You wear socks because you know. You know that going naked feet is not always the best option.

Here, we know that conventional investigations are not always unbiased.

If you don't do anything wrong, then the FEMA doesn't have anything to hold against you. They can't arrest you for investigating. As long as you don't break any laws, or promote hatred, then they can't touch you.

I like the idea of the white rubber bands with the bars,
i'd buy a few.
The staff should give this some consideration could be a way
to generate a lil extra cash, i mean none of us would mind paying
a little extra so they could make a profit on them.
Cant cost that much to have those made, few bucks each at whosale
price, then they could bump it up a little and help cover some of the cost
of running the place.
I'd be all for it.

I've met a few ATS'ers...usually first through U2Us, realizing we're either close or visiting the area, etc. If any are or plan to be in the Tampa Bay area (FL), just U2U me ahead of time, and if available, I'm up for a meetup, or you can stop by the ranch. The business website is www.davestackshop.com so I'm easy to find.

If I'm repeating I'm only reinforcing.

Nah, that's for conspiracy theorists. We are conspiracy investigators - we discuss about conspiracies, we don't generate wild theories.

Okay, maybe some do generate wild theories.

Anyway, lead is a more efficient EM insulator than foil.

This ribbon thing all seems a bit Assassins Creed-esque, Especially with the 'Deny Ignorance' thing. Its pretty cool though, i gotta make one now
