Re: TLDs as Anti-Theft Devices?

["Sandy Perle" <sandyfl@EARTHLINK.NET>]

There isn't much to a TLD. You have the holder, which has a metal 

clip, the TLD card itself and the filters in the holder. Most anti-

theft dtetctors work off of some type of an encoded device attached 

to the item the store is trying to protect. Perhaps the bar-code on 

the TLD label somehjow matches the ID frequency that the unit is 

looking for. Perphaps it's the meta clip, but then cellphones should 

set-off the detector.



Suggestion.. the individual shouldn't be enetering these stores with 

their TLD. More reason for not taking home dosimetry in the first 

place.



2nd suggestion .. take some other TLDs and see if they too set-off 

the detectors. Maybe this person is setting off the alarms.



Comment .. if the TLD is really the culprit, I'd expect to hear about 

more issues out there.



I'd like to hear the resolution, if one is found.
