why does clamshell pacaging prevent shop lifting? it's not like the packaging is tied to the shelf

But the package is quite large and rigid and thus relatively hard to conceal.

Also when stored like this: http://www.bendbulletin.com/apps/pbcsi.dll/bilde?Site=BB&...

you can put a lock on it as well.

If you're a young whippersnapper, you might not remember the horror that was the CD long box, designed to make compact discs harder to shoplift, back when people stole music that way.
