| 1. An apparatus comprising: an object comprised of paper; a balanced electrical circuit supported by the object, wherein the
balanced electrical circuit comprises a printed electrical circuit comprising at least one active circuit element which having
a transistor and at least two resistors;
a functional electrical circuit that is operably coupled to the electrical circuit and that has a low power state of operation
and a higher power state of operation; an external even trigger supported by the object and serving, when triggered, to irreversibly
sever a portion of the balanced electrical circuit and thereby automatically cause the functional electrical circuit to irreversibly
operate using the higher power state of operation rather than the low power state of operation.
