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)
