Radio-tagged codes to hit supply lines

[dArKeR]

Backers of new radio-tagged product codes, a kind of souped-up wireless bar code, are heralding this as the week the technology finally moves off the drawing board and into the physical world.

Unlike traditional bar codes, "Radio Frequency Identification" tags don't need to pass under a laser reader. They're already commonly used by drivers with "speed passes" at toll booths, U.S. military quartermasters and ranchers tracking livestock from "farm to fork."

But the MIT lab developing the technology and sponsors including Wal-Mart, Gillette and Procter & Gamble are calling a symposium this week in Chicago the beginning of the next step: embedding the chips in shipping crates to help big companies save-billions by tracking their products from factory to warehouse to storeroom.

I still say the pResident, as part of the PLS (Presidential Location System), has one of these chips implanted into his body to monitor not only his location but also his health. Therefore, the choking on a pretzel; to the point of unconsciousness (and death if the pretzel didn't miraculously dislodge itself from Junior's throat) was a completely fabricated story to cover-up the truth. Right, the pResident die in the White House and no body knows. Come-on Sheeple start thinking!
