Great article. I really hate the whole idea of forcing kids to carry RFID chips. If my school had done that I would have just packed my own lunch and pretended to "lose" my id card all the time. Just because they're kids doesn't mean we ought to treat them like cattle... That said, I love the RFID chip in my "disabled: no fare" bus pass. Now that I think about it, RFID doesn't seem as creepy as the gps phones that parents use to track all of their kids' movements, or how facebook records every conversation you ever have and turns it directly over to the government. Is the "CE" designation supposed to accomplish something other than promoting confusion?
