Pink Using Tracking Devices?
A woman breaks out her daughter’s bra, bought from the Pink subdivision of Victoria’s Secret. Turns out there’s a tracking device installed inside the bra. The question becomes: Is this tracking aimed at preventing shoplifting of the bras, or is it designed to allow nefarious tracking of those juveniles wearing the bra? More from James Munder.

(Editor’s Note: Victoria’s Secret says the RFID or radiofrequency identification chips, are not used to track individuals, but for inventory purposes within stores. “Like many other retailers, this technology helps us deliver a great store experience by ensuring we have the right products available for our customers,” the statement said. “We only use this technology in our back room and sales floors to help us manage inventory so that our associates can efficiently support our customers’ needs.” In addition to Victoria’s Secret, other retail clothing companies use the RFID chips, including Nike and Levi’s.)
