There are HUGE plans for this technology which, though not exactly new, is now taking on a monumentally radical change of use...and it's already started!
More info; [news.com.com...] - Notice the date of that article but it only just seems to have hit out TV news media tonight...scarey
most of them arent even tracking ROI or clicks from Google, I would hardly trust them to track what clothes I am wearing.

The ultimate goal is for Auto-ID to create a "physically linked world" in which every item on the planet is numbered, identified, catalogued, and tracked. And the technology exists to make this a reality.
...and on the crime front...
people might balk at the thought of police using Auto-ID to scan the contents of a car's trunk without needing to open it.
Thing with the crime angle is that it's impossible to live in our modern society without breaking the law, as any normally "law-abiding" citizen who owns a car will testify no doubt. I think it was in the yr 2k that the UK introduced over 4000 laws...obviously these cover all spectrums of business and social discourse but I'd wager that not even the brightest lawyers could know what they were, let alone Joe Bloggs...
...however, a database would have no problem!
