"Each cartridge would have between 1,000 and one million tags on it, and if you touch one you will end up with a large number of those on your hands, gloves or clothes. They are almost impossible to get off and they don't degrade over time."
Tell you what, guys--get the military and police to use it as standard issue and then get back to me.
What a ridiculous idea, on so many levels.
