CHAN:
Ever feel like big brother is watching you sometimes? Well if you wear the right clothing it might just be the case. Our New York team tells us how clothing companies may be watching you.

STORY:
New York's Fashion Institute of Technology held a conference on Wednesday to confer upon the usage of Radio Frequency Identification in garments. This technology otherwise known as RFID employs tiny devices which can respond with identifying information when prompted by a master transceiver via radio waves.

Outside the Fashion Institute of Technology, a group of people were not singing praises for the proposed use of these radio tracking devices in clothing products.

Best selling author, and director of CASPIAN Consumer Privacy, Dr. Katherine Albrecht has been opposing retail surveillance since 1999.

Bradley Berlin one of the attendees of the conference, and a business integrator at Stealth Network Commuications shared his views on the new use of this technology.

This could be a more efficient means of inventory control, but the technology's potential for invading consumer privacy, continues to raise concerns for certain organisations.

  • Katherine Albrecht is one of my heroes.

  • I think major news groups like to keep quiet about this because they rely on these companies in their advertising dollars.

  • Notice the 'pro' guy says " for convenience" they will use the 'chips'. Just like for 'security'...when you hear these words being used, you know that it is an agenda. Just like 'sustainable development'...these are globalist terms that are used to manipulate those who aren't paying attention.

  • God bless Katherine Albrecht

  • All one has to do is to develop an technology to eliminate the capacity of the RFID to respond to those who control it. So, for those who have technology background, it is time to go to work to eliminate its effectiveness through new technologies that erase the RFID capacities.

  • I will never get microchipped. FUCK THAT. Damn illuminati tryin to control us.

  • watching since 1999? hhmm?

  • Exactly.

    They always deny with their mouths that which they do with their hands.

  • how is the government having the ability to spy on you beneficial?? He's crazy.

  • its for people that steal cloths in a big amount.. so they can track them down and arest the fuckers..

    innit ?

  • Reminds me of that movie with candace bergen, where the flight attendent in training reads "Assess" like "asses,"

  • RFID is the reason the government needed to clear the air waves and go digital. They are going to use the freed up bandwidth for this tracking and sell use of it to corporations.
