RFID's the ticket for secure Games

摘要

When the 2008 Summer Olympic Games open in August, the event will put more than athletes in the spotlight. The bright lights will also shine on high-tech ticketing and food-tracking systems built on radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology. The XXIX Olympiad incorporates the "latest domestic and international scientific and technological achievements" and serves as a window to showcase the city's own "achievements and innovative strength" as millions descend on China, according to the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games.
