Hmmmm. More thought is necessary. yeah, there would need to be an RFID piece in there, wouldn’t there, or some mechanism by which the gate knows which book is moving through it.

You'd need to base it on RFID technology in order to turn the security system on and off. In theory, you might be able to communicate with the antenna on the RFID tag with a cell phone-based system. I'm more of a futurist than an out and out techie - you'll need someone else for the next step!
