I read a similar story (about the secretary crashing the computer with
static electricity from silk slips and stockings) in an old Reader's
Digest. In this case, the alarms went off whenever the secretary
walked, and it was attributed (jokingly, I hope) to the computer's
good taste (she was apparently rather voluptuous). The mystery was
solved when they discovered that the computer was extraordinarily
sensitive to foam rubber.

p.s. it was reported as a true story.
