:. RFID: Should We Worry?

So, I'm home sick for a second day and there's not much to do but check out what's happening online. I came across an article in Wired's online news pages that highlights a new book by Katherine Albrecht in which she argues that RFIDs will develop into the mark of the beast.

Her detractors say that people have freaked every time we have something new from the printing press to social security numbers to credit cards, but there are RFIDs designed to be implanted under the skin of one's hand. These seem a little more likely than other technologies.

Thoughts?
