Aluminum Foil Defeats Common Shoplifting Defence  |  (2005/06/01 11:35)

From Hack In The Box: Apparently those anti-shoplifting systems you find all over the place can be defeated by a few layers of aluminum foil. I'm not sure if this applies to all of the variants, but I don't see why it wouldn't. They all rely on being able to get a signal to a small reciever inside the device attached to any item of value.
