Re: TLDs as Anti-Theft Devices?

[John_Sukosky@DOM.COM]

Sandy,



Thanks for the response.  I'm sure if this ever happened before that you

would be the first one to hear about it.  I'll try your second suggestion

of taking a few TLDs to Wal-Mart to see if I can reproduce the problem.

Agree with your first suggestion but upper management here feels that any

potential problems are outweighed by the benefits of allowing workers to

take home their TLDs.

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.
