Evidently effective 8/1/2010 Walmart started to use RFID chips in its underwear and jeans. If you don't take the tags off and throw them away before you leave the store (after you pay for the items), they can follow you home.
no they cant. the rfid chips are merely an inventory control device. it makes counting inventory easier and less time consuming. if the cashier fails to remove the rfid chips from the clothing, and you have paid for those clothes, and you walk out of the store and the store security tries to detain you, you can sue the store for a variety of reasons. it has happened in the past.

So we agree that this is just another anti-Walmart story circulating?

A tin-foil hat will prevent them from watching you!
If you listened to the first clip. They plan to have readers that can be affixed on cars that when driving by your house can scan your trash can of various RFID chips from whatever items you bought; record your home address and sell that information to corporations. Additionally they want to have RFID readers that are strong enough to read your drivers license info inside your wallet so they know exactly who it is that is looking for X, Y and Z items in their store. Additionally, these readers pose health risks from the elctromagnetic fields.
Isn't anyone opposed to this kind of sneaky invasion of privacy?
I can't believe there are so many appathetic naive Americans that blindly trust HUGE corporations and the government without question....given their recent HORRIFIC TRACK RECORDS!
seeing that the RFID chip isn't transmitting beyond the property, its another Walmart fearmongering thread.
Hey, I hate walmart as well, because of their effect on the economy, but I aint' about to accuse them of "spying" when nothing of the sort is happening.

Dang It! Didn't you know that Wal-Mart was owned by an Alien Conglomerate from the Zarogot Quadrant of the Moltar Nebula ? They have spies living in your tighty whiteys as you are wear them.
