Privacy to take a backseat???
by jerrellt September 28, 2004 5:29 AM PDT
Seems like that statement implies.."oh, those fanantics again. Who cares about privacy! Let's increase our revenue and not be socially responsible!" What, do the big boys think that the privacy issue is that minimal? That's one of the most important issues to date! Don't even mention the chip embedding!

I don't care if the tags are on products as long as they kill the signal.

It's not what YOU want!

It's what THEY (corporations and government) want!

By the way, my handy-dandy RFID reader tells me that you own several big-ticket items in your home that are begging to be "liberated." I'll stop by your house for a personal shopping spree after my RFID scanner tells me you left your house (because of the RFID tags embedded in your suitecase).

All this technology, and not a slight bit of common sense on how it can be abused.

I sure hope the black hats come up with something fast to battle the RFID movement. This is one TROJAN HORSE concept RFID plan. I note that this is not on the main stream news but only for the small precent of us know about the rfid movement. I say to all you who oppose this conquest of walmart the machine to inform every one you know although they will not believe this intrusive. Write your local paper and give them key terms and tell them how EPIC this story is. Do what you have to before this chip is under your skin persa or not persa, I know I will get me a tagzapper to burst the chip. Stop them, ZombieWire
