Submission + - RFID tracking in grade school backpacks? (komotv.com)
Falc0n writes: "A school district in Providence, RI is planning to team up with a local tech company to track grade school students via RFID badges put on their backpacks. While the pilot program is only planned to be used for transit tracking purposes, the tags are not being removed when the students leave the bus. Not surprisingly, ACLU and parents are complaining, although the school district says there will be a chance to opt-out."
