    "patent_abstract": "A system for indicating tampering of a container (such as a life vest box within an internal cabin of a vehicle) includes a base configured to be secured to a door of the container. A retainer is configured to be secured to a portion of a housing of the container. A tamper indicator includes a flag coupled to the base, and a tether extending from the flag. The tether is coupled to the retainer. The tether includes a weakened area that is configured to break to separate the flag from the base in response to the door of the container being opened.",
    "precision_class": "structural",
    "invention_explanation": "A breakaway tether pulls a visible flag away from its base when a container is opened, making unauthorized access easy to spot.",
