Exactly. And that was the point before the 'big meltdown'. I don't care if George Jr says it is so. His claim has no validity until someone with a patriotic attitude says it with believable reasons. If your reporter understood what he was writing, he probably would have noted how significantly advanced that new system is. He did not - just another reason that his credibility is lower. Happy Monkey's post is completely different. It provides significant details and comes from a source that demonstrates credibility on this topic. Happy Monkey's citation and Clodfobble's are almost 100% different even though they say same. Credibility is a major factor here.

Do you use Listerine? Are you also healthy because you have magnets in your shoes? If not, then why would you blindly assume that reporter got one detail right - especially when the only word could have been a typo? How would we know it was not a typo in Happy Monkey's citation? Because other information confirmed the reporter knew what RFID was and knew what he was reporting. Both citations have night and day significance.
