actually you don’t have to go through all the trouble of cutting the plastic open. the way the stores do it is to push two prongs into the indents simultaneously so that both of the sides holding the pin release it. i know because i used to work in retail and we had an electronic thing to take off the sensor and a hand-held thing to take it off also. all you have to do is simulate it by pushing something into the two indents simultaneously. the ink part isn’t really all that sensitive so you don’t have to feel like you’re walking on eggshells when you take apart the thing. the trick is to push on the things on the part holding it and not pull so much on the ink part.

At least it turned out well for all you time and trouble. I had that happen with
a pair of khaki pants. I drove the 8 miles to the mall. I knew about the ink an didn’t want to risk it.

HA! You’re such a security tag hacker! Did you know that Neiman Marcus will send an employee to YOUR HOUSE to remove those? Obviously not all stores do this, but the higher end ones do for sure, and I would think Macy’s would be one of them.
