If I'm correct Banana Republic was one of the first stores to begin using RFID tags in shirts and pants to keep track of sales (So they say.) I think this is fucking retarded. I understand they want to track things but this is going a little too far. Another note to the RFID chips. It has just been announced that new RFID chips have been created the size of glitter. Now with this said who is to say they will not start putting RFID flakes on everything. RFID does have its advantages but with the security flaws it had/has I'm not 100% I would want it tracking my Passport or other vital information that could be RFID Sniped and copied. I mean shit they even have RFID Staples so that you can find paperwork easier. I say cut all tags off of clothing and if possible find clothes that don't have tags at all.
