Even with eas/rfid they will soon cotton on to removing the tags. Need to be secured on site with controlled access to them and randomised searches.

Rubbish (with respect) ... how exactly?

I assume a walk though metal detector would sense a phone being taken though booth ?

Rubbish (with respect) ... how exactly?

How about asking first before saying rubbish!

In a previous life (quality assurance) came across a company that had to devise an inspection to ensure that batteries were included In the final package, iirc they did this threw some sort of capacitance detection. This may not work with modern phone batteries but when you consider a battery as a typical component in bomb making, there are surely detection methods.

But the point here is that detecting a retail packaged phone box with all accessories is a different prospect than detecting just a phone (I.e. no battery, charger, etc with all packaging removed).

That's what they use at a security oriented depot we look after - along with very frequent random searches.

As I had mentioned a X-ray/ metal detector, random searches.

Remember you are advised you should not recieve a phone that has its packaging seal removed. So tags could would be seen and removed.

Random search set  to 65% and contracts/agreements in place for searches as in various premesis I have worked on.

Been in a well known chain today and had to throw a dice before I left, odd numbers were searched.

As you`re odd, you lost anyway

As always I threw a six....

lol

Well, it was a 4 actually but either way I wasn't searched which was a shame as she was bang tidy.
