The present invention is a method system that detects the altering of the
contents of a package. This system comprises a Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) tag that is affixed to a package. This RFID can
receive, store and transmit information received related to the package
contents. A pressure sensitive material is positioned in the package such
that this material can sense the weight of the package contents. When the
weight of the package contents changes, the RFID tag will receive a
signal directly or indirectly from the pressure sensitive material. This
weight change is recorded in the RFID. When a RFID reader energizes the
RFID, this current package weight is transmitted to the RFID tag reader.
The RFID tag reader can then determine if the weight transmitted by the
RFID tag is the original package weight or a new package weight. A new
package weight would indicate some altering of the original package
contents.
