Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS)
This system uses tags that can be disabled by authorized agents. For example, when you purchase a hardback book from your local bookstore, the clerk places the book on a special plate and activates an electromagnet that disables the tag. (The tag is usually slipped into the binding of the book).
Sensors are placed at exit points; if the sensor detects a tagged object with an active tag, an alarm goes off.
