Students and Bodies Tracked Via RFID Tags
AT writes "The Brittan School District in Sutter County, California, is requiring students to carry RFID-tagged identity badges on them at all times. Readers are currently installed at the doors to all classrooms. Readers were removed from bathrooms when parents protested. The school district is meeting next week to consider parents objections to the system." Relatedly (but not), Leilah writes "The University of California is considering using RFID tags or bar codes to help track their collection of bodies and parts. They are attempting to reopen their body donation program which has been on hold since spring 2004 due to disappearing parts - they've previously had legal trouble over improper disposal as well."
you fool! open your eyes YOUR RIGHTS ARE BEING STOLEN!
it all started when those bastards made you tell the school your name.
are you aware that once you let the teachers know who you are, they can use VFID (visible frequency ID) detectors to remotely measure your exact position from well over 20 metres away!? they don't even need badges!
it's a disgrace. parents, unite to defend privacy in our schools! think of the children!
