RFID tags have some very efficiency-enabling and cost-reducing uses, however they also come with a full set of privacy issues. We already use RFID tags in many of our everyday lives with drive-thru toll passes, implanted animal ID chips, door security cards, and other ways we may not even be aware of. Walmart uses them for their Supply Chain Management System and requires that their suppliers shift to this technology as well. Due to the power and volume of the Walmart retail system, their initiative will help reduce the cost of individual tags so that they become a more realistic alternative for other businesses and uses.
