If these tags were merely being used for internal pallet and supply tracking, why were they not de-activated or removed before the product in question was put on display on the aisles.
In this case shoppers were being photographed without their knowlege, surely this is an invasion of personal privacy and as such can be construed as at least a civil offence and I believe leaves the company in question open to litigation.
Legislation must be introduced as quickly as possible to curtail use and advise the general public regarding the use and location of these devices in products otherwise the we will all be subject to totally unwarranted exploitation, intrusion and observation purely at the behest of corporate vested interest.
