If so then one would have read this.

Despite its criticism, the report provided a set of best practices to be followed if such a system is used. The recommendations include encrypting the data being transmitted to prevent outside access and using a kill switch function to turn off the chip. It also recognized that RFID technology could be useful in identifying personnel in dangerous situations, such as firefighters and miners


You are being misled if one believes they are concerned about our privacy, Recent news events prove otherwise.That this is being considered is scary enough,They are looking to improve such a system before it becomes mandatory.Just you wait watch and see,I hope I'm wrong though.

While most people are concerned over privacy issues surrounding illegal wiretapping of all Americans.It's even more worrisome the government has been considering this.

June 01, 2006 (Computerworld) -- A committee of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security next week will consider a report that criticizes the use of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for security authentication

That's so fu*king terrific.

quote:
The report, now in draft form (PDF), was prepared by the DHS’s Emerging Applications and Technology subcommittee. A final version is to be presented Wednesday at a meeting of the DHS’s Data Privacy and Integrity Advisory Committee, which advises the secretary of DHS and his chief privacy officer

Howard Beales, the committee chairman, noted that the report has garnered more public response than usual. The report remains a work in progress, he said, and after being discussed next week, it will probably be returned to the subcommittee for more revisions

Any formal recommendation to Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff will probably wait until September or December, when the committee holds its quarterly meeting. "I think RFID in general is a very interesting technology," Beales said


The time is NOW for all Americans to wake from their slumber and stop this bullshit.
