Seriously? This is how they're trying to convince us that its a good thing?

I remember seeing this many years ago.

Get ready to see a lot more of it.

I like the innovation of technology, however I do not like this.

how do you know it wasn't retinal scan?

Because the graphic that shows the machine scanning at waist level and I believe you need to put your eye up to a scan device in order for retinal scanners to work properly.

There's no implication that there was anything implanted in the guy. I'm sure the system only scanned RFIDs on the products he was purchasing, and possibly a credit card. For all we know the store in the commercial allows people choosing to use that rapid checkout system to sign up for a key fob similar to the "speedpass" that some gas station chains issue, that can be read at that particular chain of stores and only by their systems, with all personal information stored securely at the store's headquarters.

RFID paranoia is completely ridiculous. Propagated by tin foil hat wearing retards. If you use a debit/credit card you're transactions are no more private than an RFID based consumer card. You can't even expect a cash transaction to be private considering the shear number of stores with security cameras recording everything that goes on in their stores.

*dark video anyway, even if it's positive. >> ^HollywoodBob:

Sure, but that's not the issue. People can't suck the money out of your wallet with a remote device if it's in physical form.

As I said, there's no implication how the transaction is handled, so there's no evidence of sucking money out of his wallet. If you know anything about RFID, the data on the device is very small, usually only a 128bit (if that) identification number, an account reference number. So unless someone reading the tag knew exactly what system the account number is on, the information is near worthless.

All my dogs and most of my cats have implant RFID tags. The number they contain is only readable from within inches of the tag, and only means anything if the company that registers the animal is known.

Worrying about possible misuses of RFID only shows how little those concerned actually know about how they work.

Well.. you're referring to the old RFID technology.. if you put it into that context then sure you're totally correct. Technology gets modified. Limitations get overcome and to reply to you're quote that the information is not usable by anyone without knowledge of the use of the data: I used to work on some of these systems... it's not like someone can't figure out what the information means. It's not like hackers don't try all kinds of ways to obtain information and decipher the meanings and usefulness of such information. Nooo... these things never occur.. just imagining it we are. LOL

Senator Joe Biden telling Justice Roberts that he'll have to rule on microchips being implanted into American that can track their every movement:

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

I'm not sure RFIDs are the bogeyman that many think. I would love one implanted in my wrist if it took the place of all the cards I now have to lug around.

The more important question:

Who the fuck puts a package of raw, blood-drippy meat in a jacket pocket?
