Story: IBM slams RFID criticism as 'anti-retail'

IBM's conclusion is wrong.

My concern is about privacy, and not anti-retail.

I have absolutely no problem with anyone implementing RFID's in their products, so long as the chips are disabled and rendered inoperable at the point of sale.

I welcome the increase in efficiency in material handling that these chips represent, but I don't want this advantage to turn into a private information free for all.
