Interesting item:
Social Security Administration experiments with RFID
Two key paragraphs may interest some and rankle others (privacy issues, Big Brother, etc.)
" 'If we knew who the person was, we wondered if we could track assets into the offices,' Orem says. 'You match the person with the receipt, and then you know that those particular items left with that person.'
During the tests, the SSA scanned RFID badges to verify shoppers, as well as scanning some high-volume items. The item tags included product number, price and description. The test application generated receipts, modified stock availability, and automatically placed orders to the warehouse management system based on pre-programmed reorder levels."
Anyway, I'm curious to know if this strikes a response from any of my fellow Covers.
