U.S. Homeland Security Delays 'Beefed-Up' RFID Plan

Wal-Mart isn't the only major early RFID backer to have cooled its RFID enthusiasm lately. One of the most anticipated RFID trials was at the Department of Homeland Security, which last year made a move to use super-beefed-up RFID devices track all U.S. ports of entry.

That plan has been placed on hold recently as the government "is trying to determine what technology we are going to use," said Bob Richards, the Homeland Security Department contracting officer assigned to this particular RFI (request for information).
