I am sick of these things!

I agree, much of the new packaging is a pain. It's not only the clamshell stuff, but small things too. Every individual little item is vaccumed packed & sealed for all eternity! My poor mom had to open some pain meds when she was going thru chemo. Her hands were so numb, she couldn't feel anything, so she couldn't use sissors. I walked in and she was trying to pry an aluminum foilpak open with a big screwdriver. It broke my heart, she was so upset. I think sometimes the packing is too adult-proof.

I totally understand the security devices. I used to catch shoplifters. These people had a baby in a big stroller. Took a lot of Levi's jeans and hid them in the stroller and under the baby. If they had only taken one more pair, they would have been charged with grand theft.

I would take the dismantled security device back to the store and complain. They are very expensive and reusable.
