[LINK] RFID and privacy: Debate heating up in Washington

[Daniel Rose]

Would it be perhaps useful to have a publicly accessible rfid scanner in the
shop, or nearby outside, like the barcode scanners which give you the price
already used in Kmart and Target in Australia?  This would have no real
effect on the situation per se, but it would make most people feel much more
in control and part of the process.  Things would not be seen as so
secretive and objections would probably have a lot more trouble getting
"traction" with the general public.
