RE: [802SEC] Fw: [IDOF] RFID position paper for your review and endorsement





This paper is poorly written, makes a number of unsubstantiated claims, and is clearly emanating from the same borderline paranoids who are trying desperately to get Supermarket customer reward cards prohibited.  Right to Privacy is an important human rights issue but we won't get there by chasing bogeymen and hobgoblins.  Let's try to find some more responsible spokespersons to drive our bandwagon.    :-)   

Thanx,  Buzz
