RFID Not Just for Kids

Posted by samzenpus on from the big-brother-carney dept.

dritan writes "News.com is reporting that a theme park in Florida is tagging all members of your group when you enter. The park has kiosks throughout the park that let you find the other members of your group in "real time." The park's web site makes it seem that you will only be able to find members of your group, instead of seeing everyone in the park. Slashdot has previously reported about tagging kids with RFID in order to keep track of them."

  1. If THIS is not open to abuse, then what is?! by D4C5CE · · Score: 0, Troll
    Can the park individually track where you are? probably, but it's their right to do so - you've voluntarily entered their private property after all, and paid for the privilege. Can they track your preferences within the park? probably.

    Next time you enter my private property, remind me that by doing so you have also become my private property - as by your reasoning, you will thus have been reduced to serfdom, and indeed even have to pay for that "privilege"... ;-/

    So what's next - nanoprobe injections and assimilation chambers at the gates of entertainment sites?! :-(((
