It has been found that most tags remain functional even after they have been sold and taken home by the customer. This is possible as most RFID tags do not have batteries and use the power from the initial radio signal. This raises concerns of surveillance. Generally RFID tags are meant for short ranges but by using a high gain antenna the data from the tags can be accessed.It looks like the even the social network of the person can be tracked through the use of RFID on products that are given away or resold.
