Oh, God, NO!
I have an RFID chip in my car for use on the tollway. Recently, the state sent me new plates for the car. That exposed the failure rate. It appeared that the chip was not being read somewhere about 10% of the time. The tollway has invested signficant sums in making OCR work with pictures of the license plates. That is how they are able to bill even when the RFID fails. The OCR technology is so much better than the RFID that on the latest toll road openned, they do not use the RFID and rely solely on the OCR.
RFID is a good solution to those places where we have not been able to gather data in the past. The failure rates are so high and the costs of the readers as well as the chips are enough that RFID is not a good solution for mass use.
Those are the technical reasons.
I think that I would not want to live in a society where we do not have privacy.
Here are some ideas that might have bearing on this subject
4. The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
5. No person shall be held to answer for any capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
6. In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district where in the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense.
7. In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise reexamined in any court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.
8. Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
9. The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
10. The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
One critical question has to be: can people change?
