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."

    Bogs enjoyed meatball sandwiches. He downloaded them by the dozen, until CBIAA (Chef Boyardee Industy Association of America) discovered his ID by hacking into Kazblaa's auto-worm spewer function. Naturally he was castrated and forced to eat roadkill while his testicles ran for president on a bill of "Viagra for everyone!".
