Radio tag built into clothing.

About 6 months ago I bought a jacket from walmart and for the first couple months everything was fine. Then for some strange reason everytime I walked into the walmart I would set off the alarms at the door. I could walk in, turn right around and walk out setting them off. Even set them off a few times walking in, not just out.

Since there was usually someone different at the door it was getting to be a pain in the butt as I had to empty my pockets etc, etc. to make sure I was not stealing anything. As much of a pain as it was I just thought it was something in me. even joking about alien implants..lol.

Well yesterday after mentioning it to one of the employees there for the hundredth time we endded up using one of their scanners on every part of my body and clothing. I had removed the security tags long ago but lo and behold I and the teller missed one. It was behind the tag and under two layers of cloth. The only way it could get there was in the making of the jacket. And why was it not doing anything for the first couple months? I understand the tags placed there for security but why place it where it can not be removed? Or even known about by staff? I bent the heck out of it and I no longer set the alarms off. I could not remove it without cutting up the coat and I still need it.
