Do ink tags set off alarms?

Question

Or are they just to scare people?

I heard they don't set off the alarm.

Answer 1

Strange question to ask. (?)  Just try moving near one of the exit, and you will soon see/hear.  Of course the ink tags are dual instruments, and alarm, and an ink tag to deter thieves from taking merchandise, even if they get pass the the audible alarm, the ink tag attached will ruin/destroy the garment.  Also don't listen to all that you hear.  I reiterate, strange question, why do you want to know this?

Answer 2

I don't think they set off alarms...but your stolen clothes will be covered in permanent dye when you try to remove it.....good!!

Answer 3

Yes they do.  I had one go off on me once.  I bought a shirt with two ink tags on it.  The clerk removed one but not the other so the alarm went off.  Last saturday I set one off because I got to close to the door.
