    There is also a good chance that they can be pushed open, just triggering alarm.

    I hope so. But then it begs the question: will that alarm also be ignored as all other in-store alarms tend to be? LOL

      Of course. My argument isn’t that this is a good solution, I don’t think it is. I just don’t think safety is a notable criticism.

        Fair point. I don’t know how their metal gates work, so safety came to mind.

        edit: corrected Freudian slip.
