RFID Leaders Talk Privacy
An anonymous reader writes "RFID News has released a set of interviews with EPIC, VeriSign, CASPIAN, HP and EPCGlobal on RFID and privacy. From CASPIAN founder Katherine Albrecht: 'In most cases, asking how a company exploring item-level RFID tagging can protect their customers' privacy is like asking a fox how he can best ensure the safety of your chickens.'"
Wow. There are 4 articles (or at least links) for slashdotters to not read before posting.
Or will the posts be based on the sound bites?
Ok, I give up, why you?

"I had to eat the chickens to protect them"
The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.
It's right in there next to the 'seperation' clause and the right to fully automatic assault rifles with armor-piercing cyanide-tipped ammunition.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
wow a "tinfoil hat" that I can keep in my pocket. Actually a Tinfoil Forcefield!
Ahhh, RFID. The latest topic that gets some slashdotters panties all in a bunch.
But with RFID at least the store will instantly know what kind of panties they are so you can reorder them.
Tired of buying gifts your wife hates? Unsure exactly what size she wears? RFID is the answer! Put a detector by the door, collect a couple weeks of data, and voila, you have a list of her favorite clothes! Then you can go buy similar items and she'll think you're wonderful and so intuitive about her tastes!
