No Problem with RFID at this UK Library

Isn't it a little odd that if this story were appearing in the U.S. there would likely be a picket line and yet in the UK there isn't a hint of any anti-RFID sentiment in this account. It's about a major library overhaul in which RFID check-out was added seemingly without any oush back from anyone:

Customers issue books and other items electronically themselves, giving staff more time to help visitors find what they want... And all items in stock have been fitted with a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag recognised by new scanning machines.
