Privacy concerns dog RFID use

Privacy concerns dog RFID use: "Privacy concerns about the use of radio frequency identity (RFID) systems need to be resolved to ensure that the technology is widely accepted and used to its full potential, according to the initial findings of a European Commission (EC) public consultation.

The commissioner for Information Society and Media, Viviane Reding, said that the overriding message from the consultation was that the public still have concerns about RFID privacy issues. At the EU RFID Conference 2006, she outlined various steps to allay these concerns."
