Does ANYONE have a clue???

The VAST majority of these opinions/posters have no clue as to the workings of RFID. Do they think that now Gillete (pty) LTd etc etc or Wal Mart or whoever can track your can of beans into your home? That they can use rfid chips to say "joe bloggs bought 17 cans of this soup"? (which they could do with barcodes anyway....)? As an RFID tecgnology specialist, I WISH!!!! Unless you have a reader, antenna, tracking software and a big link up to the evil, dark lords of big brother (whatever...), there is absolutely no way. All an RFID tag is, is a bar code that can be read without line of sight (i.e. a bar code that could be printed on the INSIDE of the packaging and still be read from any angle). The read range of these things is a few centimetres!!!

People like CASPIAN etc etc really have too much time on their hands.....

"RFID will allow the Wal-Mart warehouse workers to scan a single pallet of products rather than having to count the items individually."

This explains briefly how valuable it will be as a timesaver. Thanks for checking in.
