Its not that difficult to find past art...I can goto work and just use the job tracking application I've been writing off and on for the past year. Its setup to allow users to choose transparency levels in 10% increments from 100%-10%.
Yeah you'd get scanned again as you left the store, to make sure you weren't shoplifting something. Same thing goes on at nearly every store around here already using different technology.
Don't you think they already know what it if you're walking out the store with? All the data from the barcodes goes into a database so they can do datamining to get ideas of what products, and product groupings, sale best. At membership clubs like Sam's Club they also know WHO bought it because you have to use your membership card. I haven't seen anyone deploring that, have you?
How about you actually handle an RFID tag before telling us what you think? The actual chip is quite noticable by feel and by looking at the tag.
But of course I've got to be wrong and a tool of The Man, because Big Brother is watching everything we do!

Actually those work off magnetic fields, not RF.
