“What the Sorting Door does is to interrogate and evaluate RFID tags, to make an educated guess about the person wearing or bearing those tags, e.g., tags affixed to items of apparel, or embedded in an object like a book. In some cases, the Door may be able to uniquely identify a person (e.g., if it detects an object known to be possessed by a given individual); in other cases, it may be able to put a person in one or more categories, e.g., guess that the person is a petite female, based on clothing size and style. (One could always fool the Sorting Door, of course, or be mistakenly identified… the Sorting Door is as much art as science.)”
