If the legislators are not going to ban them, then at least, they should require manufacturers and retailers to inform the customers where the chip is placed with instructions on how to remove or disable it after they leave the store.

Any hope for an rfid arrow shaft so that shot deer don't go unfound?

I used to be a big technocrat.

I've lately been wondering how foolish it was for anyone to have left the farm life, for any reason at all.

In the past couple of years, since Walmart's RFID plans became public, I have been looking for stock opportunities in this field. I haven't found any publicly traded companies that are pure plays. This article mentions ThingMagic LLC, and I went to their website and they talk about "generous stock options" for prospective employees. But I can't find that company listed on any exchange or OTC.

Maximizing profits, reducing overhead. Does that necessarily mean lower retail prices? Or higher earnings? Both? Pro'lly 5/3/2/1 -- Exec bennies/inventory expansion/ROI/retail buyers. Naw, scratch retail buyers . In fact, cut ROI in half and raise bennies to 8 and buy more RF chips with the remainder.

A good site that coveres the dangers of these RFID devices is spychips.com

The next step is in restocking the consumer directly. Imagine an intelligent pantry, that issues restocking orders when things get low.

no single technology with dis-employ more workers then this one - no checkout clerks anymore at the stores, just roll your cart past the sensors, swipe your card, and go.

In less than a decade something similar will be implanted in every living person, especially those that traverse the new Trade Zone area with goods and merchandise.

A necessary measure to insure that the person returns to their area of the Trade Zone in due time. Of course it would be racist for every American not to be required to have the chip also if Mexico, Peru, Brazil, and Canada are demanded to have to use such ID.

Unless American citizens stand up and declare they know whats going on and reject it, unless globalist and Trade Zone is made a dirty, treasonous word, and a guaranteed political career killer, this is our future, ignore it or believe it.

Watch out. You're going to be seeing the evil Data Matrix on mailings more often now. In fact, I'm directly responsible for Data Matrices on 30 million pieces of mail this year alone. Oh the humanity.

RFID is expected to yield substantial savings largely by reducing the frequency of the following scenario: A customer goes to a store for an item, only to find its shelf empty, even though replacement stock lurks somewhere in the back. It's one of the costliest problems in retail.

Are they speaking of an easier means to scan entire shelves for the presence of product? That could be done optically if codes were affixed to areas that are always going to be exposed.
