Re: Self Check/RFID - Checkpoint/Bibliotheca

["said shafik" <saidshafik at hotmail dot com>]

Well, The Homland Security Department loves RFID more than you. After I you 
know what is inside that little box called RFID server related to the 
Privacy issue, I hope you think again about LOVING RFID!
I have been involved in the details of installing RFID in our Library, which 
has been implemented by Checkpoint, your favorite.
If you have access to your RFID server, you can find software that registers 
all the transactions done over the Selfcheckout and checkin. The details can 
go down to not only who borrows or returns what, but from which gate was the 
item(s) taking. More, it registers also any violations, meaning when an 
antena beeps, you can know what causes the beep and who was involved and 
why. It registers the barcodes, titles, and names. More, there is a daily 
log file you can look at to find error messages and the transactions related 
to it. If you have the 3M RFID Protocol Manual handy, you can translate the 
code of the message and know what was wrong with the transaction caused the 
error message.

Now, what do you think, feel?
