# Privacy Journal, By Robert Ellis Smith, June 1994 issue
#
# The American Textile Partnership, a research consortium linked to the U.S.
# Department of Energy, is sponsoring a research called "Embedded Electronic
# Fingerprint" to develop a transponder the size of a grain of wheat that
# could be attached to a garment until the owner threw it out.
#
# Heretofor, this application has been considered only for security purposes.
#
# The definition of "security", according to the textile industry magazine
# 'Bobbin', has been expanded to include "anti-counterfeit" tracking after
# purchase. [What???]
#
# Could a machine-readable tag on a person's clothing serve many of the same
# tracking purposes an one embedded in the body?
