I kind of like it, but I wouldn't trust it until I proved the tool worked before leaving the store.
Do you realize the logistics involved here? First of all the technology has to be currently available. Then the retailers have to incorporate the device into their tools. The technology has to be reliable and easy to implement by non trained personell. The last hurdle is Home Depot's IT department has to be on board and do the installs on the test market stores then train subcontractors to roll it out.
Like it or not it is the world we live in.
The article even mentions San Fransisco's felony theft limit is $1K and retailers are leaving the city in droves.
