Boot wire wrap EAS tag

A security tag assembly for placing around a boot, comprising:

• a security tag housing, at least a first wire, a second wire and a third wire, and a first tension switch and a second tension switch;
• wherein the security tag housing is configured to hold a circuit board including a processor, a security tag member, which includes at least one of an acousto-magnetic tag or a radio frequency tag, and an alarm electrically connected to the circuit board and in electrical communication with the processor;
• wherein the first tension switch further comprises:
• a first switch housing having an internal wall defining an opening through the switch housing;
• a barrel connected to the switch housing inside the opening, wherein the barrel includes a wall defining a barrel opening having a first opening end and a second opening end;
• a first bullet connected to the first wire, wherein the first bullet is moveable within the opening between a first position that makes a first electrically conductive connection with the first opening end of the barrel and a second position that is spaced apart from the first opening end of the barrel;
• a second bullet connected to the second wire, wherein the second bullet is moveable within the opening between a third position that makes a second electrically conductive connection with the second opening end of the barrel and a fourth position that is spaced apart from the second opening end of the barrel;
• a first spring member mounted within the opening in the switch housing and configured to contact a first end of the first switch housing and the first bullet;
• and
• a second spring member mounted within the opening in the switch housing and configured to contact a second end of the first switch housing and the second bullet;
• and
• wherein the second tension switch comprises:
• a second switch housing having an internal wall defining a chamber configured to extend partially through the switch housing;
• a contact plate mounted within the chamber;
• a third bullet mounted within the chamber and electrically connected to the third wire;
• wherein the third bullet is moveable within the chamber between a first position that makes an electrically conductive connection between the third bullet and the contact plate and a second position that creates a spacing between the bullet and the contact member;
• and
• a third spring member mounted within the chamber and in contact with the third bullet, wherein the third spring member has a spring force configured to bias the third bullet into contact with the contact plate.
