For every bad or unfortunate situation, they say there is a silver lining. It’s just a matter of having to look hard enough. In clothing security, it is almost a literal truth. The silver lining we look for is an aluminum foil lining in shoplifter’s clothes or bags.
The purpose of using a foil lining is to try and prevent the anti theft devices on clothes from activating as a shoplifter passes through the EAS towers positioned at the exit doors. The shoplifter can sometimes slip out without the audible alarm drawing attention to them, if the EAS alarms do not register the anti-theft devices through the lining.
Most states have some sort of laws against the use of shoplifting tools like bolster bags and foil linings. The problem is that in order to enforce this type of law, the perpetrators need to be caught. That generally happens only after they have been apprehended for shoplifting. It will trump up their offenses upon arrest, but understand that it is not a proactive piece of legislation. Therefore, the best way to avoid falling victim to these types of devices is to keep a vigilant watch on your shoppers particularly during the busy holiday seasons when they are carrying more than one shopping bag.
