Do bar codes make security alarms in the store go off?
Sometimes it matters what you buy.like say you just bought a phone and you walk into a clothing store now if the clothing store has one of the security alarms it would go off even though the phone is payed for.
(EDIT) I don't know if you're looking to steal something or you might be just curious, but it really depends on what you buy. Usually you can tell if when you peal off the barcode tag there are little metal rings (Which can be removed). Often valuable objects such as Xbox360's, iPhones, PS3's, ect. have these on them. Sometimes a secretive tag inside the box, which is why I wouldn't recommend stealing an iPhone, Xbox360, or anything else valuable in a box. Items that I am 90% sure do NOT have security alarms in the barcodes are packs of gum, candy bars, cheap lipstick, and anything else cheap or inexpensive. I hope this helps.
