I love to read how great this law is and how great it will be to keep terrorists out of our country.
All this does is invade our privacy, tell the gov't where we are at all times (trust me. if they can wire tap then they can RFID tap) and the only people it keeps from things is innocent people.
Anytime we come up with a great security idea, it hinders the general public and the bad guys always have a way around it. The stupidest thing is that RFID tags can be zapped clean with a $10 device. If it can be zapped it then can be reprogrammed. If it can't be reprogrammed then it can be conterfeit. This does nothing other than give spammers another way to target us. they will drive around reading our tags. THIS IS A BAD IDEA. I REALLY HATE WHEN I SEE THESE CONTROLLING IDEAS AND THEY USUALLY COME FROM A POLITICIAN WITH A D IN FRONT OF HIS/HER REPRESENTING STATE.
I can't wait until stores use RFID tags. I will zap half my order clean then walk out with free food. RFID tags have a limited use and that doesn't include Big Brother.
Sorry for ranting. I just know there are a million other things we should be working towards. Tagging humans isn't one of them.
