From Gar Powell-Evans
The security and privacy issues around radio-frequency identification tags extend rather beyond the possibility of government agencies keeping track of citizens’ every move (28 August, p 22). Any technically savvy thief could scan potential victims and select those who cheerfully broadcast the existence of expensive consumer goods. Dishonest postal workers could scan the mail for interesting objects. A whole new market would open up in steal-to-order theft.
