Hmm.
That seems like it'd open a lot of potential abuses.
I wonder what the failure mode of various electronic locks is when they're exposed to helium?
If you are in a position where you can dump random gases into the air supply to the degree it impacts these devices then they are likely compromised in other ways as well.
You don't necessarily need to put it into the air supply, could just bathe the specific device you want disabled in helium from a deodorant can or something
Is helium used in deodorants these days?
Not that I know of, I meant it could be put in a pressurised spray bottle, for example a deodorant can
