RFID: The Battleground (2005) Part 1

[renavatio1947]

STOP supporting these stores using RFID chips!!! WE CAN TAKE CONTROL - these companies didn't get rich out of thin air, but with dollars of hard working taxpayers. It's like supporting someone for years..then they turn around and stab you in the back. Pass this video on to as many as possible..Thank You And God Bless

I fail to understand how you would be monitored, spied on, or otherwise tracked if you walki into a store full of RFID's and purchase something anonymously, and pay with banknotes.

[3gdosrsfs]

You wont be paying anything withcash or currency. the RFID will carry your credits.

Open your eyes while you still have time.

[szlamx]

I have my eyes open - that is why I understand the fact that NOT THE RFID ITSELF is a threat but rather the application. On a purely logical ground the eradication of normal bank notes is a bad thing, not the introduction of RFIDs. Tell me: do you own and use a credit card? All in all, the video is surely very good, gives a lot of valid information, and I wish as many people would see it as possible. But remember: "Technologiy is NEUTRAL". This one surely is.

[3gdosrsfs]

Right! But if you do not accept this in your body as an ID, you will be taken out.

Im not talking techonolgy.....nothing in itself is evil. The application.....That is the issue....right now we are ok but its only a matter of time.

[szlamx]

Then we ought to start fighting the real enemy - the people who want us enslaved. Freedom is in danger. They say that a person living in the seventeenth century would be amazed how many personal freedoms our modern societies have taken away.

[darlingelf]

RFID is an example of the relativity of technological neutrality. OK, so we begin to tag objects and eventually ourselves with microchips. At first everything seems fine, but what happens when these tiny chips become so ubiquitous that we lose track of them? It leads to a kind of Orwellian paranoia in which everyone censors their own behaviour in the fear that it is monitored. This scenario is already inherent in RFID. It is sure to become reality if we don't vehemently reject this technology.

[szlamx]

Lol. I always thought that actually TRACKING THEM is a threat not loosing track of them. ;) ;) ;)

[darlingelf]

Well, I'll rephrase that: the ordinary citizen will lose track of them. In other words, they become so ubiquitous that we don't really know where they are, and how many there are, but the guys with the remote tracking devices will.

@szlamx Well if there are RFID chips in the money you payed for the items, the store could know who you were because the chips would say the money belonged to you. It's not just money that people want to chip, it's food clothing the works everything. How could u avoid it if everything was chipped? RFID readers would read any chip, not 1 of them. RFID chip companies want to chip stuff because they say it's easier to do inventory, and its safer, but why give freedom up for safety?

[eggy0999]

we're going to war with Iran just like Iraq. remember what happened before we went to war with Iraq. 911. WMD. if our government would do 911 to us just to get their way, and they are accusing Iran of having nuclear capability don't you think these assholes might nuke us like 911 so they have an excuse to attack Iran?

[LAdude83]

thank god we have obama in office. this scenario is unlikely to happen now. if it does i am moving to the moon.

[tuttt99]

You're living in dreamland...

[LukeCoulson]

Come on in, the water is lovely

[gman100]

Obama is CFR, he's another finger on the same hand. Keep your eyes and ears open and learn learn learn. This op is sophisticated beyond belief.

[LemonAndYoghurt]

It's getting all out of hand. The people who invented or came up with this idea to tag people with such small technology should be jailed for stupidity. And the naive inventors who invent this technology should have more sense beaten into them. They are nerds who think its cool. But they have no sense as to what the effect would be in the hands of monsters!

[mysty0]

LOL!!

the effects it has in the hands of monsters? it creates monsters!! it can take normal everyday people and turn them into power hungry assholes!!

Imagine normally Suzie Sweet who works at a consumer profiling data agency getting knocked back for a date and becoming Suzie pSycho by tampering with your profile!

Or a nurse removing your "allergic to penicillin" notice from your profile!

The extent of abuse that could happen is endless!

[RyuDarragh]

Oh, forgot to mention this is using optical character recognition and the serial number is in a text field, not a jpeg.

[RyuDarragh]

Hrmph. Silly. More appropo to this video, what's to stop them from reading the serial number already printed on each bill and *is* unique. I already did this with my webcam. Hold a bill up in front of it and it displays the bills serial number on the screen.

[Turquoisevoice]

No RFID Chip ... ? Right Then We'll Create Mass Panic Via The Ebola Or The Marburg Virus So You''ll Take A Vaccine And They'll Be A Chip In The Vaccine

[HisLamb25]

Exaclty!
