DOD will waste $100 million by not reusing $100 cargo tracking tags
That's the conclusion of the latest report from the Government Accountability Office. The Defense Department has spent more than $110 million on radio-frequency identification tags since 1997. One tag costs $100 and it is made to be reused.
The situation has worsened since the start of Iraq War. Before the war, 10 percent of active tags were being returned for reuse but now only 3 percent have been returned.
