Hello, everyone. I don't know if this has been posted before but I thought it was important since Wal-Mart is one of the biggest stores in the world and has tremendous influence.

I saw this as front page news in Yahoo!. I apologize if it's been posted before.

Please read the full article for interesting theories on future possibilities should the RFID be a success in Wal -Mart.

Ive already seen this but I think its a very important subject and glad you posted it.

I saw on the bbc website they want to bring in cashless festivals here in the uk next year. I think people should be aware of this.

Thanks for the post. One more reason I am weaning myself from shopping there. I don't need my underwear tracked, LOL. Seriously though that is an interesting link and read. All the Walmarts around here sure do seem to have a surplus of money to be able to afford to remodel their stores and that has been at the expense of the customer. Now they can afford this new tracking technology? Methinks that Walmart isn't having a recession.
