Abstract: A package may have a sensor that detects the opening of the package. Upon detecting the opening of the package, a device associated with the sensor transmits a signal to a web server. The web server may take various actions in response to the receipt of the signal. In addition, a package may have a lock that prevents the package from readily being opened until a preset time. In addition, the package may be equipped with a device capable of automatically opening the cover of the package upon being unlocked.
