Reverse Psychology

I herard that one Wal-Mart is taking down all its "Security cameras in place." signs but are putting up humongous security matters. Where it is I don't know it would not be realeased. The deep question is will this

a)put people in reverse psycology and decrease rates of theft
b)make people go shoplift crazy
I think it would be a because people always think things will be worse than they really are.

Also a Target or some Canadian brand is putting up thosuands of "Cameras in place." signs and detectors but the scanners are props and the cameras are only on around the front nowhere else. The deep question is will a false sense of security develop and will rates drop. Or will people see thriugh this sham. This is a great example of Pavlovian conditioning.

Think about this.
