Biometric ID Cards to be introduced by TESCO, Asda, M & S ... ??

Organization: RETALIX LTD. (RTXL : NASDAQ)
Position: President & CEO : Mr. Barry Shaked
Address: 10 Zarhin St., Corex House,P.O.Box: 2282,Raanana,ISRAEL, 43000

An Israeli based software outfit that develops grocery store software - US Operations based in Texas.

On May 9, 2001 three Israeli nationals arrived at Dallas Fort Worth via Air France Flight #40 from Paris, France who all claimed they were wroking / going to work for the company, they were

Tomer BEN DOR, male, Israeli, DOB: 08-24-75

Marina GLIKMAN, female, Israeli, DOB: 12-15-72.

Zeev MILLER, male, Israeli, DOB: 09-04-71.

They were also all identified in a DEA report about itinerant Israeli students hawking artwork around US Government offices. Here is a fascinating item of information about the company.

On September 20, 2005 – Retalix USA formed an alliance with Pay By Touch to integrate Pay By Touch’s biometric authentification payment system with Retalix’ Point Of Sale solutions for grocery retailers.

Pay By Touch holds more than two dozen issued U.S. patents covering tokenless biometric transactions for authentification, age verification, loyalty, and check-cashing, with more than 70 patents pending. See Lord Patel Saturday, September 9 Globalisation ...another perspective Chip and PIN ...forget it

As an aside in discussion with Eddie Mayor on the BBC4 news program "PM" tonight (9th Oct 2006) , Liam Byrne the UK Home Office minister, overseeing the ID card ,he mentioned (very precisely) "150,000 people in the US pay for their groceries by biometrics" (Pop. 260 Mn) .... going on to suggest that costs could be kept down as private industry seized the benfits of biometric identification.

Now if the major stores, TESCO, etc decided to turn their loyalty cards / payment systems to using biometrics ? How much easier the whole project would be QED ?

In this light consider the way TESCO use the space on milk containers to spread a message from the Inland Revenue / Customs thet tax payers/employees who receive tax credits and now have a live in partner , have changed their "circumstances" and may need to contact the IRC to notify the change and have their Tax credits re-assessed - ie, reduced.

Then just reflect that TESCO don't want a tax on plastic bags, managed to hand off a suggested tax on supermarket car park places, manipulate the Planning regime, land banks, etc.,

The cynical might expect that the major retailers will at least be "evaluating" the benefits, costs / political influence obtained etc., etc., by developing biometrics on their loyalty cards etc., etc.,

Well informed man Mr Byrne.

The curious thing is, the average Joe trusts Tesco more than he trusts the Gubment....so natch. Get Tesco to do the dirty work for you.
