RE: TLDs as Anti-Theft Devices?

[John_Sukosky@DOM.COM]

Rick,



Thanks for the response. The filters are thin 0.5 inch x 0.5 inch of

copper, aluminum and plastic.  The phosphor elements appear to be embedded

in a 1.25 inch x 1.75 inch x 0.062 inch aluminum plate.  The TLD doesn't

appear to contain anything unusual compared to thousands of other items

that you can buy in Wal-Mart or Office Max and pass through the anti-theft

sensing device every day.



To be sure that the TLD is really setting off the alarm, I'm going to have

to try it myself. I may even have to get with this guy so I can actually

witness this event as it happens.

If there are any metallic filters in the TLD, it could trip the alarm.

Retail anti-theft devices contain a strip of metal.
