This in a city where there is an olympic event of jumping metro gates.
I think Amazon did. I’ve never shopped there in person to see it.
The problem is that the RFID will remain on many things you buy and keep in your home - unless they now have a process to deactivate it, and it seems that would be quite a task. I think a lot of people wouldn’t like all of their purchasing habits hanging out there on the airwaves like that.
But it will probably happen anyway, eventually
What’s a “pressure can”?
The process of home canning under pressure, with a pressure cooker.
The passive tags used on retail items can be read only out to around 3 feet. Other types of RFID tags, powered, can be read out to 100 yards or so.
How could a “Former US Navy “Spook” not know what pressure canning is?
Amazon did this in San Francisco on Market Street. Shortly after opening, City "leaders" shut down the store, saying it was unfair to homeless people who didn't have cards in order to enter the store. Of course, unfair meant they couldn't enter and shoplift without paying. Lots of shoplifting on the same block at other stores like Walgreens and CVS, and the goods were openly sold on the sidewalks nearby.
If that’s true, do you think it will always remain the case?
Eventually supermarkets will give up and move out of the DC hellhole.
We don't have to do this in Red Florida because our criminals are arrested, put in the court system, them jailed when convicted.
Concrete barriers, barbed wire, the national guard with no bullets in its magazines, empty bureaucrat desks and aspirin locked in safes all over DC.
The fascist deep state is collapsing.
I don’t know about the future but if they were to try and read those passive tags from outside your house they’d have to beam so much electromagnetic radiation in it would cook you like a microwave.
This is a black problem.
“We don’t have to do this in Red Florida because our criminals are arrested, put in the court system, them jailed when convicted.”
In many smaller cities and rural areas that’s still true. For example, here in Eastern WA, metro area 300,000+.
The General Services Administration, which manages all federal buildings, operating at 11%..

EXACTLY
AN OLDER receipt could be used over & over
Pressure canning food for preservation. You need to process meats and low acid foods like veggies under higher pressure, and hence temperature, to prevent botulism. Regular hot water bath canning does not get hot enough to kill the botulism spores.
Thanks. A more succinct answer than the one I gave.
This is a Congress problem, 100%
Most RFID requires near field scanners. The scanner emits an electromagnetic field that energizes an RFID device in range. The RFID device uses the scavenged power to broadcast it's ID. On receipt, the scanner must use the ID to perform a database lookup to determine what the RFID is labeling.
When you take the merchandise away from the store, there is no longer an electromagnetic field to energize the RFID. It just sits quietly. Some RFID tags are intended to be disabled by a cashier before the merchandise leaves the store. They can be disabled with strong magnets or pulsed hard with an electromagnet to destroy the device. A high power RFID reader may have a range of 15 ft. The lesser NFC devices operate in the range of a couple inches.
Another poster said similar. But will it always stay that way?
