Re:RFID in common use (Score 1)

Wouldn't it be so much more convenient for you if you didn't have to waive your badge at the readers you mentioned? Wouldn't it be so much easier if you just walked up to the door and the embedded readers spaced in the floor knew you were coming and the door unlocks for you as you reach for it? Or, if there was some foreign infidel in the area of the door, it could stay closed until that person left. That way you wouldn't need to clock-in or clock-out the system would always know where you were. All this is possible with the tags. Star Trek doors with the implanting of an RFID tag under the skin. Isn't that exciting? And when the government gets ahold of it and starts putting it in our highways, we'll have a new receiver in our car that can tell us how much traffic there is up ahead based on weight/time. Only the data that you were located at mile X at YY:ZZ PM would be stored in the event of an emergency. And it would be collected, collated, mined and used to make your trip more toll-effective in the future. I don't know how a little RFID card provides "security" to children. They would be more secure with rifles/handguns. What security does it give them? Does carrying the card make them instantly weigh 500lbs so they can't be picked up and taken away by some creep? Does carrying the RFID card, while they're being molested in some alley without an RFID reader, help them prevent the transmission of infectious diseases? How are they more secure? They seem just more like property, and there's a lot more people in the world who treat property like shit than there are pedacreeps. I want to be able to have the choice to rip off the tag containing an RFID, and if I can't then lets get me some sort of high energy flasher that can render the chip into a hunk of Silicon.
