First let us distinguish between rights and powers.

Rights are what people have and are inalienable, given by Darwin or God.

Powers are what government has -- given by free people.

Private business has the right to implement RFID in all of their stores. We have the right to shop where we choose.

Government has no rights and no power to implement RFID technology or force RFID by law, unless we give them that power.

To do so would be a bad idea.

——Government has no rights and no power to implement RFID technology or force RFID by law, unless we give them that power.——

Please allow me to rephrase the sentence.

Government has no rights and no power to implement RFID technology or force RFID by law even if the majority of the people vote it into law, because we are a Republic not a Democracy.
