in the article all it sounds like to me is a sarcastic response from
the student. The article contains so many unsupported conclusions
about the motives of those involved, it and the author (Mark Baard, a
regular Village Voice contributor) are more suspect than the incident
itself.
RFID is just a better way to manage the supply chain, that's it. I
don't see how they can ever be worse than credit cards for invasion of
privacy. Besides, not every store on earth is going to use them, just
go to one of them if you are concerned.
