1. A security system comprising:

  • a plurality of space area network elements adapted to be disposed proximate a safe location, each of said space area network elements including;

    an unwanted object detector unit adapted to detect a presence of an unwanted object identifier unit disposed on an unwanted object, wherein said unwanted object identifier unit includes a positioning unit adapted to obtain position data related to the unwanted object;

    a processor unit coupled to said unwanted object detector unit, and adapted to process data related to the presence of the unwanted object; and

    inter-element communication units, each of said inter-element communication units being adapted to facilitate inter-element communication between said plurality of space area network elements such that a space area network is formed by said inter-element communication units such that information may be shared between said plurality of space area network elements;

    a first data storage unit disposed proximate a first position, said first data storage unit adapted to store said data related to the presence of the unwanted object;

    a second data storage unit disposed proximate a second position, said second data storage unit adapted to store said data related to the presence of the unwanted object; and

    a data processing unit adapted to process the position data related to the unwanted object such that when the unwanted object moves from the first position to the second position, said data related to the presence of the unwanted object is automatically transferred from said first data storage unit to said second data storage unit.
