I have a shirt they didn't take the electronic tag off and I haven't taken it back out of sheer forgetfulness. That was about 2 years and two moves ago! Too late now. Is there any other way to remove those tags?

Go into a store that uses them and ask them pretty please. Look honest, otherwise they might just call Security anyway.

That's what I'm afraid of:

Rent-a-cop: Ma'am, where'd you get this shirt?

Me: I bought it a few years ago.

RAC: Suuuuuuuuuurrrre, do you have a receipt?

Me: Uh, no, I've moved twice since then, I could barely find the shirt.

RAC: You're coming with us to the station. Crime Scene Investigation will get to the bottom of this

Music swells, camera pans to my panic-stricken face, then to RAC's smug look of justice...annnnnnnnndddd...we're out.

If you were in Miami I'd say go for it. You'd get to be interrogated by Horatio

Any problem can be solved with a Dremel.

I found that really interesting (well written & illustrated)

I had a slight problem with this though:

The most questionable part of the design is that the glass breaks into small slivers which could easily stick the wearer. If this had happened to me I would have sued the store.

You wear an item of clothing you know still has the security tag attached to it, rather than return it to the store... What ground do you have for suing them when the tag breaks?

They attached it to the garment. They failed to remove it when the garment became yours. Your removal of something they deliberately placed in your clothing that shouldn't have been there caused injury. Your fault for putting it there and failing to remove it. This is America. In some places here you can be held responsible for a death if someone drinks alcohol you serve them then they drive home and kill someone. Even if you tried to stop them driving. It's all about insurance and blame. Take cover, it's headed your way.....

Bitter? No, sadly. I might be willing to kill for a decent pint of bitter

Shawnee, why not call them, explain (truthfully) and ask them if they'd be willing to do it? Then yoiu have an "authorization" for rent-a-cop.
