Maybe Wal-Mart lets me walk on by because they don't want to use force to search my property.

As I was getting a cart at WalMart this noon, a woman set the door buzzer off. She came back into the store with the ‘greeter’ and a manager/security person was summoned. I watched as the security person had the woman swing her purse past the sensor without the alarm going off. Then he asked her to step through again without the purse. She was a skinny woman, older, wearing a baggy sweatshirt and tight jeans. As she stepped through the sensor wave, something ‘wobbled’ under her sweatshirt bulge in the back. and sure enough the sensor went off again. The security person handed her purse to her and told her to go on out. I asked him why he didn’t just reach and feel the object tucked in the baggy portion in back of her sweatshirt and he told me that they are not authorized to touch a customer or frisk them, that police would have to be summoned for that and that the store would be sued for detaining her if the police found nothing.
