RFID is scary. I am obviously missing some posts on this thread, so I may be repeating what others have already brought up, but google RFID and Walmart or NAIS. My dog is chipped and I hate it. People think it is great, but I wish I could cut it out of him. They put those chips in all kinds of stuff now, ID bracelets, liquor bottles, cigarette packs-anything taxed by states...

I read something on them somewhere...
Imagine walking in a store, the tag reader at the door knows where you bought your underwear, when you bought them & what size/type they are. Same for all the rest of your under garments, pants, shoes etc. The piece I read talked about using all this information to customize advertisement for you specifically. I could see other uses too, so could (I imagine) George Orwell.
