Thats exactly what they are doing (human proofing) because there are a lot of humans out there that have to pull things out of packages in the stores.............catch my drift? see their point?

I have a relative that manges a Walmart and he told me it is for loss prevention. My wife read a story online about people going to the emergency room with deep lacerations needing stitches caused by this stuff. Another things that is aggravating is fisher price using about a dozen little wire ties to tie everything to the box.
As soon as I get something new with that stuff I go right for the kitchen shears. Plain scissors wont touch the stuff, and you have to cut around the whole thing and separate the two parts. You can't just cut a corner off and pull apart.

My nephew got so many toys this Christmas, it took us a couple hours to free them all from their packaging prisons, while he looked on, twitching out, wanting his toys. They even make the toys with holes to thread the wires thru. Thankfully, there was nothing in the plastic packaging of doom.

And...if stores had employees that could answer questions about their products, I bet there would be alot more unopened boxes.
