\nis guilty of it. In the last two years I and others have done our own
\nresearch and found several large retailers that use WLAN to allow their
\nregisters at the front of the store to talk to their main computer in the
\nback to handle things like pricing (how the register knows that the
\ntoothpaste that was $1.99 on Saturday is now $1.50 on Sunday) as well as
\ncredit card processing. At first we thought it was simply POS data to
\nhelp keep an accurate inventory and pricing data, but soon discovered
\nthere was also credit card data being sent. I’ve found a decent indicator
\nto be the use of pricing\/stocking guns with antennae, but it is not always
\na smoking gun. When you consider that it’s names like Wal-Mart and Best
\nBuy, both large retailers, the benefits of making this information known
\nhas been a equally weighed against what said retailer would do to us in
\nthe courts if we made the information public.
