ABSTRACT:
A security device for mounting in the alignment or positioning channel of video cassette which prevents utilization of the cassette in a VCR. The security device comprises a locking member having tabs which extend into openings of the alignment channel to retain the member therein after insertion into the channel. The locking member is removed by a key which is inserted into the bore of the locking member and has barbs at its lower end which engage the tabs of the locking member and retract them from within the openings to permit the locking member to be withdrawn from the cassette channel. The locking member also may secure the cassette within a container by passing through a hole in the wall of the container and then into the cassette channel aligned therewith.
