It is a bit controversial, and they give you the option to opt out:-------- import RFID - Radio Frequency Identification Please note that an RFID tag will be imbedded in your registration badge and will not contain any personal data but only an identification number. The ID number and their related data collected during CES will be used for internal purposes only by Show Management and will not be sold, bartered or traded. -------- end import CES is using RFID badges this year.

The stars were just there for the full attendees so exhibitors, door gaurds, and staff could tell at a distance who got access to what parts of the conference without having to read their tag or scan them.
