Re: DHS report faults use of RFID for human identification

Did you read page two of that article? If so then one would have read this.
quote:
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.
