What could possibly go wrong? Surely not a poorly-calibrated scanner frying someone's retina, or Walmart using the record of the user's opening the the cabinet to build a dossier of their buying habits and start sending unwanted marketing materials (which I suppose they're doing anyway with preferred members' IDs).

Stores like Walmart plan for losses due to shoplifting, it's not a new phenomenon (I was quite good at it, myself, as a teenager back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth). What they're doing now is an extreme overreaction to an age-old problem.
