Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Law
Must individuals are aware of the phrase, above. It can be seen on just purchased mattresses, furniture, and other such items. Of course it doesn’t really mean you cannot remove the tag from one of those previously mentioned items, it simply means the seller cannot remove the tag prior to your purchase.
I wonder, though, if that phrase, may one day actually be applied to consumers, at the insistence of manufacturers of the clothes you wear. Why do I wonder? Because RFID tags are working their way down into your skivvies.
Take a look at these so called friendly purveyors of clothing, and their RFID supplier Checkpoint, displaying their wares at the recent Frontline Expo 2004.
After looking at that, you may want to invest in a very sharp scissors.
Hat tip to a reader.
