RE: Mobile industry calls for RFID payment push

coltsleight@... 18th Nov 2008

People need to be very cautious and regard all attempts to institute RFID into everyday life as insidious. RFID human beings are not desirable to anyone except governments and corporations. I'm against neither governments nor corporations (I happen to be a CFO for godsakes) but there have been unprecedented attempts in the past decade to devour civil liberties and gather excessive amounts of information on individual. Information, not policeman or clandestine agencies, is the most powerful, albeit tacit, form of control.

Accordingly, I view this article not as an isolated instance in which technology can aide an industry, but as a premonition of things to come.
