Security protection device and method

A method of protecting a storage device from radiographic imaging, comprising:

• covering a portion of a front surface and a back surface of a locking mechanism with a first layer of radiographic cloaking material configured to defeat a first type of radiographic beam;
• and
• covering said portion of said front and back surfaces of said locking mechanism with a second layer of radiographic cloaking material configured to defeat a second type of radiographic beam.

A kit for retrofitting a storage device having a lock, comprising:

• a first radiographic cloaking barrier configured to be attached to a front surface of a locking mechanism of said lock such that said locking mechanism is at least partially cloaked from radiographic imaging;
• and
• a second radiographic cloaking barrier configured to be attached to a back surface of said locking mechanism of said lock such that said locking mechanism is at least partially cloaked from radiographic imaging.

A storage device, comprising:

• a housing defining an interior storage compartment;
• and
• a radiographic cloaking barrier having at least two layers of cloaking material covering at least a portion of the interior storage compartment.
