108. RFID has been used by Walmart for years now.
They use RFID to track their bulk shipments around the nation. I think you are referring to their consideration of RFID in the individual products people purchase to track marketing data. I'm not adverse to this as long as I can rip the tracking device out as soon as I purchase it and leave it in the Walmart parking lot.

What's more concerning is the implantation of RFID in people as a means of security identification. To this idea, I say FUCK NO!
