Abstract: A tamper-evident system and method is disclosed to be used to provide evidence that the contents in a container have or have not been tampered with prior to the intended opening of the container. The tamper-evident system and method also acts as a deterrent to those attempting unauthorized access the contents of the container. The system and method of the present invention can be practiced or used in conjunction with bulky items such as winter coats and boots, sleeping bags and with containers, such as suitcases, backpacks, bags, briefcases, either singularly or in total with cubic capacity that is greater than that available in two-dimensional tamper-evident containers, particularly those with distinct hard corners to be used by, for example, a patient at a hospital or medical facility, or computers and the like that are being removed for evidentiary purposes.

Abstract: An emergency protective garment covers a wearer who must remove clothing to go through a decontamination process. Tear-away strips around garment openings and the garment length allow the wearer to fit the garment to the wearer's size. A continuous perforated seam separates the single-paneled body such that the garment can be removed without re-contaminating the wearer.
