Claim:
A tamper-evident security device, comprising: a) a pair of base members, each of said pair of base members having a first side edge, a second side edge, a top edge, a bottom edge, a top surface, and at least one mounting hole; b) a first guide, said first guide abutting the top surface of each one of said pair of base members, the first guide extending from the first side edge of said base member to the second side edge of said base member, and said first guide spaced a user-definable distance away from the top edge; c) a second guide, said second guide abutting the top surface of each one of said pair of base members, the second guide extending from the first side edge of the base member to the second side edge of the base member, and said second guide spaced a user-definable distance from, and parallel to, said first guide; d) two first leg members, one of said pair of first leg members for each one of said pair of base members, said first leg member having a user-definable length, at least one user-definable width and a user-definable height, said first leg member abutting said each of said pair of base members and extending lengthwise along the top surface of said pair of base members, and located between the top edge and the first guide; e) two second leg members, one of said pair of second leg members for each one of said pair of base members, said second leg member having a user-definable length, at least one user-definable width and a user-definable height, said second leg member abutting said each of said pair of base member and extending lengthwise along the top surface of said pair of base members, and located between the bottom edge and the second guide; f) two U-shaped upper members, one for each of said pair of base members, said pair of U-shaped upper member having two parallel upper portions and a perpendicular base, the upper portions of both of said U-shaped upper member oriented parallel to and abutting said first leg member and said second leg member, the base of one U-shaped upper member oriented along the first side edge of one of said base member and the second U-shaped upper member oriented along the second side edge of the second of said base member; and g) two removable security label blanks, one for each of said pair of base members, said removable security label blank having a user-definable thickness, said removable security label blank slideably positioned on said first guide and said second guide, and covering substantially the entire area bound by the first side edge of said pair of base member, the second side edge of said base member, the first leg member, and the second leg member.
