It seems you failed to include the the whole paragraph:

"Can RFID tags be sewn into clothing?"

"Yes. A number of companies make RFID tags encased in protective plastic. These tags are designed for use in the laundry and uniform rental business. The tags used are typically 13.56 MHz tags, which have a read range of less than 3 feet (1 meter). Today, there is no way to embed a tag that is undetectable to the consumer into clothes. Companies that are testing RFID systems for tracking clothes in the supply chain are putting the RFID transponder on a hangtag that the consumer cuts off before wearing the item."

[Lauren Scott of California is blazing a new trail in children's wear. The $2 million-a-year apparel division of DST Media Inc. will launch a line of pajamas with radio-frequency identification tags sewn into the hems. Readers positioned at various points throughout a house, such as doorways and windows, will be able to scan the tags within a 30-foot radius, and an alarm will be triggered when boundaries are breached. ]

[Today, there is no way to embed a tag that is undetectable to the consumer into clothes]

 

The key word in the sentence is undetectable.

 

The tags are still sewn into clothing.  

 

Which renders your statement:  

 

[The idea of RFID tags "in your clothing" is a bit of a stretch.]

 

False

Besides, the arguments regarding RFID tracking of humans will be rendered moot once THEY are fully able to exploit this:
