The Future Now blog quotes United States Senator Patrick Leahy's talk on RFID entitled "The dawn of Micro Monitoring:"
Future Now believes Leahy's talk is an indication of how the political discussion about RFID will unfold, an opinion I agree with entirely.
This is exactly why the RFID industry groups, such as AIMGlobal and others, have to be well out in front and leading the industry in a positive direction, and not commit the mistakes of the nanotechnology industry.
Read Senator Leahy's speech on RFID -- it is a simple HTML page and a quick, easy read.
"The marriage of information-gathering technology with information storing technology, manipulated in increasingly sophisticated databases, is beginning to produce the defining privacy challenge of the information age.

We are on the verge of a revolution in micro-monitoring-- the capability for the highly detailed, largely automatic, widespread surveillance of our daily lives."
