Don't know your tech?The library wants to use RFID for checkout. Neato!“As radio-frequency devices proliferate, we will be creating an infrastructure that makes it easy to track people by their things,” [nonprofit lawyer Lee Tien] said. “You might not think radio-frequency identification in Berkeley is a problem, but what happens when it becomes pervasive?

But dude, if you're withing a few feet of the receiver at the library, they'll totally know exactly where you are! Your privacy asplode! posted by Beetle Aurora Drake 2/11/2005 07:28:00 AM # Comments (0) . . .
