RFID tracking chips, what's your opinion?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090712/ap_o…

Those have been fantastic in my job for tracking equipment. at any moment, I can tell exactly where any tracked piece of gear is in the building within a few feet.

To an outsider though, sort of like the article you link to, they are just serial numbers. without the building's network of scanners that can triangulate the location of each RFID chip and the database that knows what serial number is assigned to each piece of equipment, someone would just know that there were several thousand RFID chips nearby if they sat in my parking lot.

The government may follow my travels all they choose. I find it difficult to believe that any agency would be capable of tracking everybody, all the time, for any purpose. Anyone not wishing to be tracked could simply leave the RFID chipped card or passport somewhere

I SUPPORT FULL IMPLEMENTATION OF RFID CHIPS! the American constituency needs to DEMAND the placement of RFID in ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS! Governor mark Sanford's little excursion to Argentina AT THE CONSTITUENCY'S COST for his mistress pleasures is PROOF that we NEED to track these incompetent boobs!!!

That would be nice if they planted them in all the whitey scum. So we could avoid them.
The detector would say "caution whitey scum approaching".

If you're in the business of identity theft I'd say your job just got a lot easier. Personally. I don't like them and will avoid them whenever possible.

you mean a chip inserted inside your body?

invasion of privacy - NO THANKS

Does not sound good
