Can or will governments implement an RFID tracking system to know where each citizen is at any time?
The infrastructure costs for a government entity to track all citizens would be astronomical, not to mention the tremendously large data base that would be generated as people pass from point to point. The practicality of such an application is well beyond any government’s capability to afford the infrastructure and data management issues, let alone the thought of consumers allowing this type of tracking to take place. Currently, a court subpoena is required to use private information such as cell phone records and credit card purchases. This information is strictly for use in criminal activities investigations. The data generated from the use of RFID should be private and proprietary and include the same protections on privacy that are currently in place.
