As you can tell Don, although I've done a lot of reading in the scientific 
journals, I don't know how to explain what I've read correctly.  But I could 
have sworn that the verb broadcast was used in one of the articles--- but you 
are correct.  If I find the part of the latest article I read to which I was 
referring, I'll post the excerpt.  I've been reading so many, that even if I 
bookmark everything, I just end up with tons of bookmarks without a way to 
reference what was in the particluar journal articles .....bobford

Something cannot be passive and constantly broadcasting at the same time.
Broadcasting is an active process.  RFID tags are not powered and are
passive and only respond when triggered by the RF signal of the scanner.
Currently range is limited and the scanners do not do well in discriminating
different devices when they are in close proximity to each other.
