UK Store Tesco Expands RFID Tagging of Its Goods
The UK retail giant Tesco faces a boycott over its use of Radio Frequency Identification technology. The company has been experimenting with RFID since 1992 and has said that it aims to have readers in its supply chain, stores and at all its registers. Recently, Tesco announced plans to tag individual store items. Such RFID tags would give retailers the potential to track goods after they have been bought and left the store.
