Scott is right - you just can't make this stuff up. Rep. Larry Phillips has proposed HB2893, which would put RFID tags in vehicle registration stickers. I can think of many reasons why this is a bad idea, but you should read Scott's post to get the full flavor of this one.
I don't know about y'all, but where I grew up folks tagged cattle, not each other. It's none of the government's business where you go unless they have probable cause to believe you did something wrong. We have a freedom to travel and, at least until recently, what was once quaintly known as a "reasonable expectation of privacy."
obvoiusly this is to protect us from more terrorist attacks you stupid liberal.
go back to iraq!
// oh god i love sarcasm.. whats sad is that this response is right on par with what to expect from those who see nothing wrong with this type of stuff..
ah well, buncha bitches!

"So, you've been tasked to implement RFID, the bad news is it doesn't work. Read on for your next steps..."

Posted by: Craig on April 7, 2005 11:05 PMRFID doesn't work? Interesting. IEEE Spectrum hasn't picked up on the issue, or at least hasn't done so yet. Have any details on what the problems are and how likely they are to be resolved?
