Walmart has joined Amazon in the fight against certain product
packaging. That's the clear heavy plastic kind with the welded edges
that takes a chain saw to open, well at least a sharp knife.

“We’ve (Amazon) gotten e-mails from customers who’ve purchased scissors
in a clamshell, which would require another pair of scissors to open the
package,” Nadia Shouraboura, Amazon’s vice president of global
fulfillment, said in an interview.

About time. I can understand the problems with shoplifting so the
need for some protective packaging. Amazon and many others are mail
order so that is not an issue. In any case, the packages need better
methods to open.
