If you're not paranoid, you should be

Here's your future: You need not be paranoid to fear RFID.

The articles goes into several scenarios, where it shows you how you can be tracked by Radio-Frequency Identification Tags implanted into your clothing and accessories, and finally you.

Every time technology has been advanced, someone has found a way to abuse the use of it.

And here's the point, driven home:

Somebody needs to sit down and think this through. Dozens of companies and government agencies are planning to use RFID to track nearly every move we make. And although many of the individual applications make sense, what would happen if they were all implemented, without oversight or restraint? We'd then live in a world in which everything we own gossips about us behind our backs.

And it would be too late to call the IBM Help Desk to ask for our privacy back.

I've said this so many times. If you are tracked wherever you go, are you truly free?
