That sounds like what they (apparently) have in the customs sheds in
Dover harbour. There are signs warning of the "catsclaw" - red triangle,
white background, with a group of black markings that remind me of
sharks fins: slightly curvy triangles leaning to one side.
I say apparently, as the signs have been there for years but I can
recall actually seeing the devices in question.
