'In World War II, friendly fighter planes sent out identifying radio
signals. Today, if you use an I-Pass on the toll road, a Speedpass from
MobilExxon to buy gas or McDonald's hamburgers, or an electronic device
to lock or unlock your car door, you're using RFID. The technology is
in those ID chips people implant in their dogs and cats, cards for
access in buildings and in the Chicago Transit Authority's smart
cards.' -- [And from article on same page] 'In the study, uncovered by
the Chicago Sun-Times , shelves in a Wal-Mart in Broken Arrow, Okla.,
were equipped with hidden electronics to track the Max Factor Lipfinity
lipstick containers stacked on them. The shelves and Webcam images were
viewed 750 miles away by Procter & Gamble researchers in Cincinnati who
could tell when lipsticks were removed from the shelves and could even
watch consumers in action.'
