That's a nasty solution. Why not do it like they do with CDs, etc? Take the box (possibly containing a deactivated item) to the till, someone brings the real functioning item from the back room.

They already do this at some locations. In my location, the actual item is located in a locker below the display. If you want it, you get an employee, he gets it out of the locker and carries it up to the register for you. You are not allowed to touch it until you paid for it.

This isn't rocket science and it does not require bluetooth. This whole premise is silly.

It has some sense in that it could be a little faster at the checkout.
