1. A fabric security bag, comprising:
a front panel and back panel which are joined along a first edge that is adjacent to a closable open end of the fabric security bag, joined along a second edge that is adjacent to the open end and opposite the first edge, and joined along a closed end that is opposite the closable open end of the fabric security bag to form a cut-resistant portion of the fabric security bag;
said front panel and back panel of the cut-resistant portion of the fabric security bag being made from a fabric laminate having two layers of cut-resistant fabric forming an intermediate wall of the fabric security bag, a layer of a protective fabric that is lighter than the cut-resistant fabric and which forms an exterior wall of the fabric security bag, and a layer of a protective fabric that is lighter than the cut-resistant fabric and which forms an interior wall of the fabric security bag;
said closable open end of the fabric security bag comprising,
a first cable channel housing forming a first cable channel along an edge of the front panel of the cut-resistant portion of the fabric security bag at the open end thereof and a second cable channel housing forming a second cable channel along an edge of the back panel of the cut-resistant portion of the fabric security bag at the open end thereof, said first and second cable channel housings being made from a fabric laminate having a layer of cut-resistant fabric forming an inner wall of the housings and a layer of a protective fabric that is lighter than the cut-resistant fabric and which forms an exterior wall of the housings, and wherein the layer of cut-resistant fabric forming the inner wall of the housings comprises cut-out sections where the cut resistant fabric has been removed to form a tooth pattern along the housings to reduce the amount of fabric making up the housings,
a first cable, a portion of which is threaded through the first cable channel and another portion of which is threaded through the second cable channel, and first and second end portions of which extend out of the first and second cable channels, respectively, on the same side of the closable open end of the fabric security bag, said first cable being slidable within the first and second cable channel housings that form the first and second cable channels, and
a second cable, a portion of which is threaded through the first cable channel and another portion of which is threaded through the second cable channel, and first and second end portions of which extend out of the first and second cable channels, respectively, on the same side of the closable open end of the fabric security bag which is opposite the side of the closable open end that the first and second end portions of the first cable extend out of the first and second cable channels, said second cable being slidable within the first and second cable channel housings that form the first and second cable channels, and wherein
whenever both ends portions of the first and second cables are drawn out of the first and second cable channels at the same time, the fabric laminate forming the first and second cable housing of the closable open end of the fabric security bag is collapsed in a manner facilitated by the cut-out sections in the first and second cable channel housings to reduce the size of the open end and close the fabric security bag, thereby securing items placed inside the fabric security bag that are larger than the closed open end from exiting the fabric security bag; and
a removable outer sleeve comprising a front panel and back panel which are joined along a first edge that is adjacent to an open end of the outer sleeve from a closed end that is opposite the open end of the outer sleeve to a flap portion of the front panel and a flap portion of the back panel which are not joined and which form the open end of the outer sleeve, joined along a second edge that is adjacent to the open end and opposite the first edge from the closed end to the flap portion of the front panel and the flap portion of the back panel, and joined along the closed end that is opposite the open end of the outer sleeve, said outer sleeve being sized so that it fits over the cut-resistant portion of the fabric security bag,
said front panel and back panel being made from a protective fabric that is lighter than said cut-resistant fabric,
said open end of the outer sleeve further comprising,
a first row of one or more connectors disposed along an inner wall of the flap portion of the front panel of the outer sleeve, and
a second row of one or more connectors disposed along an inner wall of the flap portion of the back panel of the outer sleeve, and wherein
the cut-resistant portion of the fabric security bag is inserted into the outer sleeve such that the closable open end of the fabric security bag and the open end of the outer sleeve are adjacent each other, and wherein,
the flap portion of the front panel of the outer sleeve comprising the first row of one or more connectors on the inner wall thereof is folded over the closable open end of the fabric security bag such that the line of one or more connectors on the inner wall of the flap portion of the front panel align with and are connected to a row of one or more connectors on the inner wall of the front panel of the cut-resistant portion of the fabric security bag, and wherein,
the flap portion of the back panel of the outer sleeve comprising the second row of one or more connectors on the inner wall thereof is folded over the closable open end of the fabric security bag such that the row of one or more connectors on the inner wall of the flap portion of the back panel align with and are connected to a row of one or more connectors on the inner wall of the back panel of the cut-resistant portion of the fabric security bag.
