Techdirt: Wal-Mart Looking To Take Spying On Shoppers To The Next Level

Tomato or Tomoto? 😉

Wonder what the author has been smoking.  That may be the way he would do it but something seems to be lacking in the way of common sense safety precautions.  Especially the bit about handling the plutonium without gloves if necessary.  I checked and this is not the first of April so are we having another fools day in the fall now?
