Can RFID track people?

RFID is not a tracking technology like Global Positioning Satellite (GPS). RFID is an identification technology, like DNA or fingerprints, which are unique identifiers that every person has, but they are not a means to track people. What RFID can do is transmit its unique identifier to a wireless device and trigger an alarm if a child were to be removed from a home. Or with a long range reader, RFID can be used to help locate missing persons.
