Homeland security slams RFID use on humans

A draft report from the Department of Homeland Security's Privacy Office condemns use of radio frequency identification devices ( RFID) due to excessive privacy and security risks. RFID can be used to monitor people's behavior, the report states. Things may not be looking so good for the proposed use of RFID on Mexican border crossing cards and similar ones being considered for use by the Departments of State and Homeland Security.
