"This is intended as a wake-up call. We ask the RFID industry to design systems that are secure," Tanenbaum said in a telephone interview. Internet of things RFID has been touted as "The Internet of Things", in which anything from shampoo bottles to marathon runners can be tracked using radio tags. Civil liberty groups say RFID could lead to an unacceptable invasion of privacy and argue that airline ticket information could be used by law enforcement agencies and divorce lawyers. Metro, Germany's biggest retailer, said at the CeBIT technology trade show it plans to save $10.1 million annually by using RFID to track stock from suppliers and at its flagship Future Store in Rheinberg town. Industries in which tracking goods is crucial such as pharmaceuticals, governments, logistics, airlines and manufacturing already use RFID technology. A recent study by ABI Research found that 10 drug products are expected to have RFID tags on a large scale this year. The cost of making an RFID tag is about 16 cents today and needs to fall, Metro's head of technology Gerd Wolfram said. But Ian Furlong, manager of Intel's Solution Services division for Central Europe, said at CeBIT that the price of RFID tags was "rapidly falling toward the 5 euro cent mark". Andrea Huber, managing director of Informationsforum RFID, a German group raising public awareness about the technology, said
