- Jeff,
-
- RFID tracking of customers after they purchase an item
with an embedded RFID is property rights infringement. When a customer
buys an item, lets say a shirt from Wal-mart, they now own that shirt.
-
- The shirt is their personal property as well as all tags,
markers and labels that are attached to that shirt. They can do with those
items as they please. They can destroy them, rent them or loan them for
someone else to use.
-
- The customer can now say to wal-mart (and any other retailer)
if you want to use my RFID via tracking it when passing over sensors in
their store or any other store you must pay me a user fee. You could charge
the store for each time your RFID was scanned and you could charge any
dollar amount per use. I am not a lawyer but common sense dictates that
my argument is valid. Perhaps you could ask one of your excellent guests
to address this salient point in the struggle against abuse of the RFID.
