"Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags are finding their way into a broad range of new applications that have raised concerns about privacy. There is little to inform the calls for a national debate and the legislative proposals that have resulted. The concerns expressed demonstrate how emerging information technologies can upset the balance of privacy, personal benefits, and public safety and security. Although proposed retail uses are new, RFID tags have been used to control access in the workplace for over a decade." Source: Linux Electrons
