"In most states of the United States booster bags are considered a burglary tool and possession of them can lead to felony charges."
This sentence is misleading. Possession of the bag itself is not illegal, but possessing it while committing a crime could lead to more serious charges being filed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by N255 ( talk • contribs) 09:33, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
I have one, does that make me a criminal? 23.16.219.49 ( talk) 03:27, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
"The name contradicts the function of the bag; if the bag really did boost the tag signal it would make detection more likely, not less."
I suspect the author of this sentence is misunderstanding how the word "booster" is being used. "Boost" is slang for "stealing" and is being used in this sense in the name of the bag. [1]
