What you describe is equal to a
one-time activation. The clerk extracts the little metal thing that makes the detector buzz as you are giving him the cash, you take your t-shirt and never have to worry about it again.
UBI's method is more like you're stuck with the little metal plate in your T-shirt for life, so that the T-shirt shop's patrol car can verify it's yours at random points in time, plus you can't do anything about it.
Your friends make fun of the bulge under your T-shirt in the back of your neck, it itches and annoys you, you don't like the feeling of cold metal on your skin when you dress for work early in the morning and you can't go anywhere near a metal detector without giving a false alarm and everybody looking at you in a strange way, but of course we know it's not the fault of the T-shirt seller, it's the fault of terrorists and gangsters who made us install metal detectors everywhere and we jump with fear everytime they go off
And all this so that the T-shirt store's patrol car can come along, stop you from whatever you're doing at the moment (work, going to the movies, having a cup of cofee with your girlfriend), demand of you to prove you didn't steal the T-shirt and expect you to show them the little metal plate, all at random times and however often they would like. Oh, God forbid if they barge in your home one Sunday morning, find you snugging into bed with your girlfriend and she happens to be wearing it. Stupid women, always getting us in trouble like this after a night out for meal, movie and hot sexxing
You see, you don't own the T-shirt, you own a license to use it and they can revoke it at will if you give it to a friend as a present, let your little son wear it as you snap pictures of him with your camera or ship it off to a humanitarian aid mission when you don't want it anymore.
Tell you what, if you subject yourself to this for a month and prove to everyone here that you really did it, i'll go out and buy SH5 in its current state
