I spent too long in Target playing with the little scanning gun. It reminded me of a hack I read about. All these guns are are wireless computers connecting to access points which are connected to the Target network. Some kids figured out how to exploit some codes on the guns to access the network. I think they could only do some inventory and price checks, but it was pretty cool. I think it was in 2600, a magazine that should be on everyone's coffee table.
