With all the spying, it's time to bring up RFID chips aka SPYCHIPS again

[liveoaktx]

I've been reading the book "SpyChips" and it is appalling what corporations are doing to put in RFID chips in every product. The difference between an RFID chip and a barcode is that each RFID chip has a unique serial number which uniquely identifies just that item. The book points out a number of patents that companies have taken out with a view to using the American public as guinea pigs for marketing tracking. That is to say, they want to collect information on every person based on their buying habits and will be able to do this with RFID chips which would, again, uniquely identify not only the person but what he or she has purchased.

And, currently, there is no way to disable RFID. So you could be taking home products that, with a reader, would beam information about you.

Seems to me that this is timely to bring up again, loudly, to demand that RFID be disabled, at the very least after leaving the store, although I don't even like the idea of being tracked and spied upon for my habits while IN the store.
