Activists in Germany on Saturday will protest the use of radio-
frequency IDs and various plans by businesses to track consumers. 
Their efforts already forced one of the largest retailers in Europe 
to back down this week from a trial run of the tags.

Led by German privacy organization FoeBud, activists in Rheinberg, 
Germany, plan to stage a protest outside the Metro Extra Future 
Store, a department store that serves as a site to test RFID tracking 
and other retailing technologies.
