DHS report faults use of RFID for human identification

June 04, 2006

Says threat to privacy outweighs benefits

Marc L. Songini

"Most difficult and troubling is the situation in which RFID is ostensibly used for tracking objects (medicine containers, for example), but can be in fact used for monitoring human behavior. These types of uses are still being explored and remain difficult to predict. For these reasons, we recommend that RFID be disfavored for identifying and tracking human beings," the report said.
