I.D. CRIME ‘WAVE’ By STEPHANIE GASKELL – New York Post Online Edition: Seven: “stephanie.gaskell@nypost.com”
Here is the article that covered the Senators press confernce yesterday. I am not so sure that crime is running that high as I have never seen anyone with a rfid reader in the street or near an ATM.
It is possible but I think the person with the reader would have to be so close to you that you would know what is going on.
StorefrontBacktalk – Canada’s New RFID Privacy Rules Could Have The Wrong Effect
Although this article is based on rules being propsed in Canada it also harps on what senator Chuck Schumer was doing. He brought up the story again today claiming that RFID is responiblie for a rise in identity theft. I will post a link to that when I find one.
With the many uses around RFID I am never surprised at how many places this pops up. I have since heard that they are using this on the Lexington avenue line in New York City as a test. There is just no limit to the direction RFID will be employed as the price of RFID tags are becoming cheaper to produce every day.
Even though this article is almost a year old it does show how some consumers are still scared over privacy issues when it comes to RFID BBC NEWS | Technology | Consumer concern over RFID tags
“Depending on which articles you look at, the RFID market will either booming next year or will be down in revenue….”
I can only see this as a stepping stone to where RFID is heading. The technology is still in the baby phase as i am concerned.
