But look how much they would save, video surveillance
cameras could just read the barcode, as with number plate
recognition.

I suppose a burkha might be the answer to stop CCTV reading the
barcode.

Hmm. I get mildly annoyed sometimes when filling my bike with petrol when
they insist I take off my helmet. I can understand to a point why they do
it, but would they insist someone wearing a burkha show their face when
paying for fuel..?

But, seriously, as Bob Eager says above RFID is the way ahead in
"their" plans. Nano technology in the military/govt level is way ahead
of the commercial field.
