Where the RFID Industry Has Failed - Discussion Wall

RFID in Libraries

I work for a Library RFID developer. We see this type of paranoia all the time. Questions we get are typically:

1. Can someone tell what I'm reading by scanning the tag? (No - no bibliographical data is stored on the tag, only the item id and you'd have to have access to the library's database to find out what that was.)

2. Can someone identify me by scanning the tag? (No - no biographical data is stored on the tag.)

3. Can someone follow me by scanning the tag? (No - RFID is not a GPS)

So much mis-information.
