Given enough study, one could re-engineer Wal-Mart's whole
computerized inventory control system.
Considering that Wal-Mart spent a fortune on this system, I doubt
that they
would be interested in just handing it over to a competitor for free.

If I wanted to spy on Wal-Mart, I would find a better way of doing it
than by hanging an Olympus around my neck.


Oh, I did not say that Wal-Mart's security is effective. The bigger the
organization, the less effective and the more offensive security is. If
Wal-Mart grows much bigger they will be wanding all their customers with
metal detectors before allowing them to buy guns.
