California Working to Ban RFID Tagging of School Kids

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007 (No comments yet)
From the "thank god someone is paying attention" department, California is working on a bill to ban RFID chipping kids.
Legislation approved Monday would prohibit public schools from requiring the implementation of radio-wave devices that broadcast students' personal identification and monitor their movement around campus — information the mechanical horrors could theoretically use to turn our children into livestock. … More RFID bills led by Simitian are currently being sent through California committees. One bill places a similar temporary ban on RFID technology in California driver's licenses. Another will place privacy safeguards on any existing RFID-enabled government IDs. Simitian also has led a bill that would restrict forced RFID chip implants in people.
Nice. Yeah, California!
