I read something on them somewhere...
Imagine walking in a store, the tag reader at the door knows where 
you bought your underwear, when you bought them & what size/type they 
are. Same for all the rest of your under garments, pants, shoes etc. 
The piece I read talked about using all this information to customize 
advertisement for you specifically. I could see other uses too, so 
could (I imagine) George Orwell.
