Short vid of Mythbusters Adam Savage explaining why they can`t do an analysis of the dangers of RFID technology.

I recently read the excellent Spychips (How Major Corporations and Government Plan to Track Your Every Purchase and Watch Your Every Move ) by dames Albrecht and McIntyre of Caspian. Here the authors eloquently show the dangers of putting an RFID-tag on every object one can buy in the supermarket. Think about tags in your shoes of tires - the non-removeable kind. Even though they can`t be read out at a large distance, all one needs to do is place readers at strategic spots to get a near allencompassing picture of everybody`s movements - and that`s only one of a dozen nefarious uses RFID can be put to.
How dangerous the technology is, becomes even clearer through the segment above.
The companies were sending a clear message. Too much money has been invested and the only thing that could screw up their plans now is, if word gets out about the dangers of this technology before they had the chance to diploy it on a large scale.

If there is one orwellian technology that needs to be stopped, it`s item-level RFID-tagging!
