Magnetic strips and security cases are not some new invention. What's to stop them using them on BD cases just like they've always done on DVDs?
It's not that those are lacking likely, but that people are stealing by removing them from the case at the store.
I've come across a few DVD cases over the years where the shrink-wrap was slit down the side and someone had pulled the disk out. Partly why there are a lot of case designs with a plastic flap, or multiple locking tabs on the side that opens. Trying to keep that from happening.
I've pointed out (or just handed over) several such cases to employees when I found them at stores.
You wouldn't be able to remove the disc from a security case without extreme effort. I'm talking about the locked perspex boxes which lots of stores already use to protect games, videos & cds. My local tesco sticks all the high worth items in security boxes.
