The "tiny steps towards Big Brother/Armageddon/etc" is almost never a good argument, IMHO, because each one of us has some instance of "tiny steps" that they're ok with. Take the dual sides of gun control vs right to bear arms. One could argue that each stance is baby steps away from an awful end result - either a government that strips everyone of their protection, or a populace that settles scores with duels. Whatever you're ok with, I can come up with a horrible possibility of misuse.

You personally may not carry a cell phone, but do any of you view cell phones as a danger to your privacy and freedom? If you fear RFID but not your cell phone, you've got it backwards.

I personally would not agree to implant RFID tech into my body just for my job's sake. My joke about not letting work get under my skin was also a true statement. It has little to do with being tracked, though - it's idea of modifying my body for my job which is abhorrent to me. I'm sure this has to do with my personal aversion to tattooing and piercing (I love it on others but I'd never do it to myself). I could see myself, a while from now, considering chip implantation for identification purposes, but that's a ways off, and I'd find out exactly what I was getting into first.

People always complain about having to carry a library card...
