WOW! SABOTAGE!
There is another explanation. How about PARANOIA!
First of all water and dampness is a common problem in the supply chain. Damage in shipments is not unusual, and all electronic components must be protected from static discharge. Sabotage would not be my first suspect. I hope those making the charges have direct and irrefutable evidence to support them. Otherwise, they are paranoid.
Those who truly believe that RFID failure can only be attributed to people have an unrealistic view of the technology. What ever happened to the old saying “If you build a better mouse trap, people will flock to your door”.
If RFID is as useful a tool as its proponents claim, there is nothing to fear, because people will demand its use. That is the only way technologies rise to the top.

I’m with Chris (the previous responder) on this one. Sabotage? Are you kidding? There are many reasons for RFID tags to fail, especially the low cost unprotected tags embedded in paper labels. While I’m sure there are some employees doing some “what happens if …” experimenting, I really doubt this is a significant factor in tag failure. The proponents of RFID need to be a little more honest in their assessments of the technology. While RFID is not a new technology, it is not a mature technology either. And although RFID (as a technology) is capable of much of what is being reported, there are a lot of technical and performance issues with the low cost tags that are the cornerstone of the big RFID pushes in recent years. If RFID systems fail, you’re right, it probably will be because of people. Primarily, the people that pushed the technology beyond its capabilities, the people that misrepresented the technology, the people implementing the technology in the wrong application, and the people (victims) that purchased the technology without really understanding it.
