An electronic surveillance countermeasure created by Bora Flightmaster, originally for the audacious break-in to the Louvre by Thomas Crapper and Jason Huntingdon. These belts provide almost complete invisibility to all but the most sensitive Theremin Proximity Alarms by generating a field of static interference on the Theremin antenna that obscures any frequency or amplitude change that its wearer would normally generate. The belt will automatically compensate for the mass of it wearer and any items that he may be carrying, but this can lead to an over-exertion of its portable motor. At high levels of theremin senstivity the static field generated by the Galvanic Motor on the belt, can cause uncomfortable stimulation of the wearers body muscles or even if over-exerted, minor burns. As the belt is reactive to the theremin field, it will work in conjunction with other belts worn when a critical number of people are distorting a field to dampen it to the best of its abilities.
The wearer can detect a normally invisible theremin field's presence by the inaudible sensation of the belt buzzing. The wearer can thus gauge the risk of setting the field of by the intensity of the buzzing and indeed, practiced users can detect the areas around which the field is strongest often leading to uncovering the item the field was installed to protect.
Skilled Theremin field monitors can sometimes detect the use of a Static Distortion Belt by the slight drop in pitch of the field beyond its "at rest" setting as the belts sometimes overcompensate.
