This is weird...about 3 weeks ago I started setting off the store security alarms at the exits when I go through them. At Eckerd it happens all the time, last night it as Rite-Aid....happens going in and leaving....I have no metal in me anywhere.....its not my keys or my remote entry for my car.

What gives????

I feel like a criminal when I leave when they go off....

Have you had chemo recently? Any dye placed in your body for tests?

[zerostar]

Perhaps a security label attached to your shoe or something?

Ha. That reminds me of when I worked in the University library back in college. One of my jobs was to put the security magnetic strip in the new books. We used to hide these strips in some of our friends' backpacks, coats, shoes (really hidden, obscure places). They would go though the security gate and set it off, and have the security personnel (also our friends) check them for a good 5-10 min.

Well, it was funnier back then....

I work in a library now....this my friend has crossed my mind and even more tempting after reading your post. Dang conscience!

Maybe too much lead in your blood

a heavy, bluish-gray, soft, ductile metal, the chemical element of atomic number 82. It has been used in roofing, plumbing, ammunition, storage batteries, radiation shields, etc., and its compounds have been used in crystal glass, as an antiknock agent in gasoline, and (formerly) in paints. (Symbol: Pb)

Could be metal implants left over from an alien abduction...

I think you should have some fun. Go to a store, buy nothing (make sure you have nothing on you), set off the alarm, look left, look right, then run like hell.

When they catch you (you HAVE to let them catch you), let them look for whatever they think you stole, then tell them you have a brain implant that sets them off and you like to see how they react when you run.

Or don't.

[PHoynak]

I thought of doing that.....It is just uncanny and is driving me nuts. I have had no tests done lately.....maybe I was abducted........I did lose about a week of my life a month ago

That wasn't aliens. You were drunk.

[Albert Pujols]

Most abductions happen to drunks.

[wdlove]

It will certainly be interesting to know the cause of this mystery. What reaction are you getting from the stores staff?

[RAILhead]

Maybe you sat on something?

[kikkoman]

that happend to me once. turns out i purchased a new wallet and forgot to take out metal tag

[JoshuaZ]

Once when I worked in retail this older lady got super pissed off because every time she went through anyone's door scanners she set them off. Then when our store manager came up to talk to her she freaked out yelling and stuff telling them that they had no right to look through her bags of bought items, and that if this kept happening she was calling the police about it.

What she would have actually said to the police baffles me. We would have all just been happy if she would have never come in again.

So far I have never been stopped by anyone at the stores. I have to check my wallet....although it is old it is the only thing that has been with me all the time. I have to leave it in the car and go though and see what happens.

[phantomdragonz]

go to walmart..... they have wands that they use to de-activate it after you leave the checkout... it will also tell them where the tag is that is setting it off...


good luck!

I found it in my wallet I had since Easter! I will use it on some unsuspecting person sometime. For a second I thought something "changed" me....

[Mr Kino]

congratulations on finding your culprit.

[KeriVit]

Yay kikkoman! You solved it!

[AKcrab]

If this thread had some Carly in it, I would give it an A++.
As it is, I'll give it an A.

Same thing happened to me. A hidden tag in my wallet. I felt like a crim everywhere I went.

[Stogieman]

Problem solved. Move along people, nothing to see here.
