how do you remove the smoke detector from the electrical outlet?
Go to Wal-mart or a hardware store. Get 24 sheet metal screws (1/8-1/4). Get an old pair of running shoes and screw them into the gaps between the treads. Spread them evenly on the areas where you will footstrike. You will have traction even on black ice. WARNING : DO NOT WALK ON YOUR HARD WOOD/LAMINATE FLOORS IN THESE SHOES. They bite into oak and linoleium as well as ice.
If you get caught it could be a big fine, and get the boot from the dorm room.
Disabling a smoke detector in a public building is actually a federal offense.
