San Francisco Supervisors Reject RFID

"A plan to install radio frequency identification (RFID) tags in materials at the San Francisco Public Library (SFPL) has been rejected 4-1 by the Budget Committee of the Board of Supervisors. San Francisco and Berkeley have been the epicenter of citizen activism about library RFID, as critics are concerned the RFID system could compromise privacy—a position disputed by library vendors and librarians with RFID systems in place."
