Wal-Mart Taking RFID Out for a Spin
Wal-Mart is testing Radio Frequency Identification tags (RFIDs) at its Sanger, Texas, distribution centre and a number of retail outlets across the United States. Privacy rights advocates are working to get legislation in place to regulate the use of the technology prior to it becoming broadly used in consumer products. Wal-Mart and other companies, including chemical giant Procter & Gamble, have developed RFIDs reportedly with help from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
