Passive RFID is Gaining Momentum

It all started with Walmart, this RFID for retail thing, in January of 2005. At that time, the thought in the industry was that Walmart would soon RFID tag all items sold in their stores and be able to implement a drive through check out process, where all items would be scanned automatically, and checked out by merely driving your shopping cart through an RFID portal. Not only Walmart, but all retailers.
