    I actually do want RFID capability in my phone. But only if that means I can have a built-in RFID Guardian.

    But giving retailers access to all my contacts? Why the hell would I want to do that?

    Just a quick reminder of the facts:

    Brain scanner can tell if you are going to buy a product or not:

    Brain scaner can tell what you are looking at:

    Brain scanners are so easy to do that now they are in game controllers:

    And better than a tinfoil hat, we will need something able to filter what you let or do not let through, as was done with the rfid firewall:

  3. Privacy must be active. by gnutoo · · Score: 1 · on University of Washington Tracking the Edge of Privacy

    The people behind The RFID Privacy Guard saw all of this coming a long way off. When it comes to RFIDs you can't trust other people to do what they should. Even if reasonable laws are passed over violent industry opposition, any store clerk can make a mistake. Recent ISP behavior, the choice point scandal and the still active TIA program all show that government and big dumb companies are able and willing to break the law. Anyone who wants to guard their privacy will be forced to monitor themselves.

    The obvious things to block are drivers licenses, credit cards and other identifiers. Less obvious things are inventory tags for clothes and gadgets. Even if RFID tags are made less than unique, more like ordinary barcodes, the combination of things you carry will be unique.

    Laws should be passed to eliminate things like ChoicePoint and greatly reduce ISP snooping and point of sale records. Even if you have nothing to hide you will suffer when those who would stand up for your rights are identified and neutralized.
