Tonight's little horror story: RFID ID's EVERYWHERE My wife works as a temp. She specializes in companies that are merging and changin thier employee base. Every one of the jobs she has had for the last five years issued ID cards that clearly had RFID in them. BUT, not once was she told that was what she was carrying. When she asked what information was in them, they refused to tell her if it contained personal info about her. Fine - I made her a card wallet that had a copper foil liner. There was a little window where one could see her photo, made of copper screen, soldered to the internal foil envelope. When she needed to open a door, she tried to just be behind someone already doing so. When that failed, she could take the card out and scan it, then replace it in the foil lined wallet. In one case, the employer actually asked her why they could not track her card while she was at work. Since she was near the end of her contract term (18 months is the legal limit for retaining temps unless they are offered permanent positions), she told them clearly that she did not appreciate thier attempts to track where she went when she was not on company time, and that she would continue to carry the card in the wallet that blocked the RFID. A month after her contract was over, we found out that they instituted a policy that attempting to block the tracking of the cards, EVEN WHEN NOT ON COMPANY TIME would result in termination. talkback.zdnet.com In reply to government.zdnet.com The bill: leginfo.ca.gov Gee, they keep passing stuff like that and it won't be legal to brand your slaves anymore.
