RFID Tag it and Bag the Customer
The race is on to place RFID tags in the consumer market place poses some privacy questions for consumers and merchants. The use of tags without clearly defined privacy policies may leave customers with few options should the technology become dominant in the market place.

However, the rapid spread of RFID technology in everyday consumer products may make this a point of debate sooner than later.
