Lessons Learned from RFID Field Test

muddy_mudskipper writes "From John Young's cryptome.org website, is a newly posted pdf copy of the "Lessons Learned from RFID Field Test" as compiled by the Field Test Program Manager of the Auto ID Center. It is interesting to note the photographs of the different passive RFID antennas that could be used in product packaging - some small enough to fit into a soap box. Also curious is how many sector antennas have to pepper the test center in order to approach 100% RFID readability. 'In March 2001 a team comprised of Auto-ID Center sponsors (technology & end users) was assembled to plan and implement a Field Test aimed at taking the Auto-ID EPC technology from the laboratory to the real world environment with the objective of proving the power and effectiveness of the EPC and to blaze a trail for future adoption' "

Contgradulations!! Big Brother is watching YOU.

Why does this have to be brought up every time something comes out about RFID tags? If "Big Brother" cared enough about you to track you, they would bring up your credit/debit card purchases and find everything about you that an RFID tag would tell them. You know that cell phone you carry around? Your position can be determined quite easily from that. Existing technology allows anyone to track you already. Anonimity has already been traded for convenience.

Don't worry though, nobody is watching and tracking you as an individual. Truth be told, Big Brother just doesn't care about you.
