Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: receiving, by a computing device, a first indication from an electromagnetic flux based sensor; receiving, by the computing device, a second indication from an accelerometer situated on an object, the accelerometer associated with a sensor package further comprising a compass, the sensor package associated with the object, and the object having an orientation; determining, by the computing device, an inconsistency of the first indication and the second indication with a motion profile, wherein the determined inconsistency indicates a tampering of at least the sensor package by a magnetic source; sending, by the computing device, an activation signal to the compass in response to the determined inconsistency; receiving, by the computing device, an orientation signal from the compass; and determining, by the computing device, a change in the orientation of the object based at least upon the orientation signal from the compass.
