The device guards against multiple threats of theft, including shoplifting, organized retail crime and employee theft. At the same time, it allows consumers fully to interact with products in-store, and take their purchases straight to the checkout register. It is especially well-suited for high-tech products such as consumer electronics, office supplies, video games, pharmaceuticals, jewelry, fragrances and personal-care products, MeadWestvaco said.
