Abstract
A distance of an Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) tag on an item from a scanner is determined when a code for the item is read by the scanner. When the distance is greater than a predefined distance, a delay period is initiated and when the delay period expires with the EAS tag not having been placed within the predefined distance from the scanner, an alert is raised to an operator of a Point-Of-Sale (POS) terminal.
