The only way they could do that is to line the roads with readers. Ain't going to happen.

I have no fear of RFID chips. The technology simple doesn't allow the kind of tracking that people seem to fear. I don't even have a problem with having them implanted - as long as it is voluntary. Regardless of how innocuous the technology, I would oppose mandatory implanting.

My work ID has a RFID chip implanted in it. It makes opening the security doors so much easier than the old system; Id cards with magnetic strips that you had to swipe multiple times before the door would unlock. We all love it.
