It's not "anti-theft".

It's just dumb **** criminals who can't handle being herded and being RIGHTLY LABLED as useless C***S

Until you get caught in a similar predicament without having stolen anything. Then you'll waste 10 minutes being humiliated by having your entire cart rechecked, all the while catching looks from everyone else checking out. Then you will be frustrated and might say something about it. But yes, they are all dumb criminals. You'll be the only innocent one who was ever humiliated in this way...
