Good morning Chad,

I wholeheartedly agree that the technology exists and that there are
implementations in the works all over the place -- I just want to make
sure that we stick to reality.  When we have places like Sam's Club and
parent Wal-Mart who really are prepared to field test RFID technology,
it dilutes the issue to say that, "this has been going on for over 5
years already in one of the largest high-street retailers".

I don't blame the previous poster for wanting to come across as a guy
'in the know'.  This list does not benefit from lore-reported-as-fact,
however.

This is Full-Disclosure, was it unreasonable to ask the original author
to disclose?  :)

take care,

Cael
