No surprise that WorldNetDaily picked-up our story on the Cincinnati
company that is requiring any employee who works in its secure
data center to be implanted
Great coverage of RFID, as always!
"It's wrong to link
a person's paycheck
with getting an implant…"

"RFID tags can
be so easily hidden into products—things people buy and carry—and

"Most people wouldn't like the idea of someone knowing everywhere
they're going, and keeping track of it in a giant database, especially
when it's done without their knowledge or consent"
-Liz McIntyre

Albrecht Talks Consumer Privacy & RFID, by Laurie Sullivan
"Now you've got the potential for your HMO, public health officials,
and other people whose interests may not simply be marketing, to keep
track of the food on your shelf..."
"We are essentially,
with our shopping dollars -- we're funding this whole monster, we
are funding the system, we're funding the databases, we're paying
the salaries of the people who are collecting this data on us. We
are essentially paying to build our own data prisons here."
