From: Edupage RADIO IDENTIFICATION CHIPS COULD REPLACE SOME BAR CODES Chipmaker Micron Technology of Boise, Idaho, has developed a "radio identification" chip likely to replace the traditional product bar code for such uses as remote tracking of shipping containers. With support from the Federal Aviation Agency, the company plans to develop an airline luggage security system that would use the new chips to track every package on an airplane, identify its owner, and call attention to possible bombs in packages not properly identified. The chips are expected to be produced for less than $1 each. (Wall Street Journal 2 Aug 96 B3)
