1. A package containing a primary article, the package comprising:
an electrically conductive loop incorporated within the package; a securing means attaching the primary article to a portion of the electrically conductive loop, wherein removal of the primary article from the package removes at least part of the securing means and breaks the electrically conductive loop; the electrically conductive loop being connectable to a second part of a security feature such that together, the electrically conductive loop and second part of the security feature are capable of detecting when the loop is broken and capable of issuing an electrical signal in response to the loop being broken, which electrical signal is operable to cause an alert to be issued, wherein the second part of the security feature is a separate module external to the package that is connectable to and removable from the package.
