I don't know either, but my point is that fact that who gives a crap if your picture is taken at the shelf when the store already has the power if filming almost every move you make in the store- and they've done so for years... While I admit the whole anti-theft thing is a load (why not just put sensors on the products?)- it's not a bid dang deal that someone knows you bought razors.

Well, several reasons:

Only if you bought women's razors for yourself, and your a guy.

isn't it odd that a lot of this type of news that we should find in our own newspapers, is only found in overseas news?

Does it make you wonder about the bias of our media?
