I watched a salesperson go over a pair of womens slacks several times before she located a tag that set off an alarm as the customer left a local department store.

If you trip an alarm do not leave until the TAG is located and disarmed.

If you are told by a store employee to ignore the alarm, don't do it. There is a good chance that when you wear that garment and 'enter' a store you will trip the alarm again.

I watched it.

Interesting..

(BTW) We probably should use ‘freepmail’ and not continue on this thread with unrelated content.

But I still don’t understand why the government wants to know about my pants, and why the government would create a massive database that includes information on my pants. Try as I may, I can think of no nefarious reason for the government wanting to know where my pants are.

The government could care less what kind of pants you are buying, they want to keep track of you like farmers keep track of cattle.

Well, I guess if I take off my pants, the government will be completely foiled! I still can’t see where this is going, nefarious-wise.

will have removable smart tags that can be read from a distance...

So they will be able to track men that forget to remove labels from their pants and underwear. From a short distance.

We need a warning label on the label!

Remove all you labels, keep them and take them back and scatter them thoughout the store. That ought to make for a a nice mess in their inventory control stats.
