I brushed past this and decided to read it. We used to sell duress as the “security between the outside and the inside”.
Although it has been problematic for people to remember how to use it on that rare occassion, and more often the creation of a false silent alarm due to the methods used such as changing the last digit by one up or down.
Added to that is the common requirement for no verification by the dispatchers.
Of course, how many alarms use the years 1950 to 1999 for codes still or the default 1234!

I'm beginning to wonder if duress reactivity should involve some sort of force based response mechanism. What better way to put down animals like that than by a machine?
Maybe I'm being extreme. Maybe I'm politically biased and driven by my complete anti-religiousity. However, the Charlie Hebdo incidents are among the most infuriating in respect to terrorism and Islam in general.
Speaking of which, are there any interdiction systems that are effective and readily available through proper channels that are worth talking about for a commercial (non-industrial) application?
