NYT on RFID Tags

Posted by michael on Tuesday February 25, 2003 @08:40AM from the close-shave dept.

indros13 writes "The NY Times is running a story on the radio tagging of merchandise.

The USDOJ put up a link about this, which they then took down a few days later. Fortunately, it got archived during that time, and you can find it here.
