RFIDs Tracking More Than Just Goods
from the tracking-everything dept
While most people talk about RFIDs in supermarkets for the ways in which they can track inventory, both in the back of the store and on the shelves, it's important to realize that the technology can be used for many other kinds of tracking as well -- including supermarket employees and customer shopping carts. This is where the technology reaches a bit more of a gray area that makes some people nervous. There isn't really anything wrong with it, as long as those people who are being tracked are aware they're being tracked, and the reasons for such tracking are made clear.

How much easier
would the recovery efforts be, if all victims were required to wear RFID tags? Then we can hunt down all the sharks that ate them and dig the RFID chips out of their stomachs.

People who worry about this are also paranoid about the video cameras that are watching the employees and customers as well.
Just order your shit on-line if this bothers you. Even groceries can be had this way these days.
