US Pushes For RFID Laws

Privacy with chips – For more info on the RFID chips (same thing they are wanting to put in our horses!!!) go to http://www.silicon.com

A California state lawmaker introduced a bill on Tuesday meant to address consumer privacy concerns related to the commercial use of radio frequency identification technology.

Senate Bill 1834 would apply to any business or state government agency using radio frequency identification (RFID) systems to track merchandise or people – an activity that’s on the rise.

The bill proposes that businesses and agencies be required to notify people that they’re using an RFID system that can track and collect information about them. It would also require consumers to give express consent before businesses or agencies could track and collect information about them via RFID. Lastly, the legislation requires retailers to detach or destroy RFID “tags” on merchandize before consumers leave the store with it.
