RFID doesn’t infringe upon personal freedoms, people do.

True, but recently with computer technology we have run into trouble with mis-used technology

This post/thread is simply an invitation to everyone to reflect on this problem and to consider how best we might respond

We’ve always had trouble with misused technology. That’s human nature. The second thing somebody did with an invented object was something they shouldn’t have. The fact of the matter is that RFIDs are incredibly useful in a large variety of legitimate applications (mostly inventory control and package tracking). And really the horse has left the barn, if you want to stop RFIDs from being misused you need to work on the usage, RFIDs themselves are here to stay.
