The tracking technology for products (and other things......) will get a major ally, Walmart. Using this technology for tracking products is nice. Using it for other pruposes, well, that's just a breach of my security.

Wal-Mart's endorsement of RFID gives an important boost to efforts to overhaul the world's supply chains, a makeover that could provide a shot in the arm for technology companies struggling to find buyers for the latest products and services. RFID is expensive, but backers say it offers long-term benefits that could dwarf the impact of the bar code on inventory control and distribution.
