Abstract

See full text

Systems (100) and methods (1100) for selectively preventing an unauthorized detachment of a security tag from an article (114). The methods comprise: coupling the security tag to the article by locking a tack assembly (110) to a securement member (206) disposed within a housing (104) of the security tag; guiding an external tool (102) into a channel (500) formed within the security tag for releasing the tack assembly from the securement member; and inhibiting the external tool's movement of the securement member by biasing an obstruction member (702) into a first position in which the obstruction member at least partially extends into a space (350) formed between a clamp body (302) of the securement member and a spring sleeve (326) of the securement member.
