Exactly the same arguments made when the widespread use of barcodes was envisioned. What happened to all those scenarios? Ah, nevermind. I suppose if one is afraid to touch the doorknob of the public toilet then this is just an extension of that particular mindset... Since physics restricts the possible range why not just carry a pager sized jammer? Better yet, a device that emits the proper "code" to whatever you desire. The only reason most checkout personnel are used today is to pass the merchandise across the scanner, process paper checks and put your eggs in the bottom of the bag full of can goods. When the process is really automated then the checker will be extincted (sic) and I'll go home with a truck full of "kat fud"!
