This is possibly the largest can of worms opened in a long time. Check out
www.theregister.co.uk for regular, near daily, developments with this. Some of it's worrying, some of it's just hype; it's all quite interesting.
I just got back from a quick trip to Tescos. They had a consumer boycott in the store that trialed RFID tags insted of barcodes. Don't talk about their clubcard scheme, as an ex-employee, I can tell you that that is big brother in action.
