Commentary:
"RFID was once considered revolutionary, the wave of the future that
would be the answer to all of the barcode's limitations. However, the
luster has worn off and paranoia and fear have set in; the industry has
reached a critical turning point in its evolution," said Rob Keenan,
Director, RFID World. "The idea of RFID as a functional, and sometimes life
altering, application has been forgotten. RFID World Boston wants to pen up
the debate concerning security and privacy, while highlighting how RFID is
preventing dangerous counterfeiting of pharmaceuticals, tracking the source
of the next e-coli food outbreak, creating contactless payment systems and
easing your daily commute."
