"People can't sift through the trash and find your credit-card number," points out Joe Ely, technical officer for 2Scoot. "And they can't ring up $7 on the register, put $27 on the credit-card machine and pocket the $20." Installation of an RFID reader costs about $300--about half...
...income to impoverished regions. "The launch of a new global trade round is important for economic recovery in the short term and for economic growth over time," U.S. Trade Representative Robert Zoellick told TIME.
