the sensor works on a magnetism system. The trigger is caused when a security tag is passed through between the sensors. The foil block's the signal from the tag being picked up.

Police are now using part of the Theft act that says a person is going equipped to committee a crime (using/carrying the foil in a situation that the foil would not normally be used in)
