On the subject of bypassing merchandise display locks

[ax0n]

I thought you guys would find this set of videos interesting. I
didn't feel like linking to it from the blog post for obvious reasons,
but I still have to share.

FYI, Alpha is pretty much THE manufacturer for this kind of stuff. In
fact, Alpha made the tag I used in my demo, but it's since been
discontinued in favor of the secure hooks you see at Wal-Mart and
CVS. Also, they make the "Spider wrap" round ratcheting things that
wrap wires around boxes, the big plastic cases with grey flap lids,
etc... Alpha's pretty much got the market cornered. KC area folks
need only to take a trip to Best Buy or MicroCenter to see plenty of
their products in action.

I'll leave it to your imagination to figure out what the deal is with
their magic "Alpha Hand Key" *LOL*

Seriously, though. Don't be stupid and shoplift. Or even TRY this in
a store. Where there's security devices like this, there are sure to
be more than two eyes in the sky watching for douchebags who try to
game the system.
