PRIVACY

CNET News: RFID tags: Big Brother in small packages

Could we be constantly tracked through our clothes, shoes or even our
cash
in the future? I'm not talking about having a microchip surgically
implanted beneath your skin, which is what Applied Digital Systems of
Palm
Beach, Fla., would like to do. Nor am I talking about John Poindexter's
creepy Total Information Awareness spy-veillance system, which I wrote
about last week.
Instead, in the future, we could be tracked because we'll be wearing,
eating and carrying objects that are carefully designed to do so.
