Pill Packs Could Trip Up Thieves
From the article:
At the suggestion of state Surgeon General Dr. John Armstrong, the state Board of Pharmacy agreed Tuesday to check out several devices that look like pill containers but are actually phonies, loaded with tiny signaling units that could help track drug thieves and abusers.
The model that Jackson described looks like a pill bottle but has a tiny transmitter at the bottom that begins sending out signals when it is removed from its cradle. Pharmacists being robbed could slip one of the phonies into the stolen drugs they give to thieves, or a unit could be placed on a shelf amid real drugs in case thieves grab them.
What is next.. we will see pictures of all the different contraptions that they are using.. so that the crooks will know what to look for ?
