In 2006, Michael Boyd pressed the Georgia State Assembly to pass a law requiring banks to create ATM panic codes that would operate the machines normally while also alerting police. His wife, Kimberly Boyd, was killed in 2005 after being carjacked and forced to withdraw cash at an ATM. Such a bill is before the Georgia Senate, having been placed there on 29 December 2005. But nothing has happened on SB 379 since then. Kansas might be the one place where keying the reverse of one's PIN into an ATM serves as an alert to police. In 2004, the Kansas state senate passed SB 333, a bill that states: 'Any automated teller machine operated in this state shall be designed and programmed so that when a consumer enters such consumer’s personal identification number in reverse order, the automated teller machine automatically sends an alarm to the local law enforcement agency having jurisdiction over the automated teller machine location.' However, we've yet to turn up information confirming that any ATMs in Kansas actually have that feature encoded into them.
