I have yet to see this "technology" in use though. I will start looking. It's as though every damn thing has to made completely idiot-proof anymore. As if purchasing fruit is a complicated task. Maybe if people who are too stupid to even purchase food weren't able too, there wouldn't be so many of them roaming the planet. I also agree. I have yet to see this “technology” in use though.
