RFID your kids... or else!

Kids in a town in California are being made to wear RFID tags in school to allow their movements to be tracked.

They also question the ethics of a monetary deal the school made with the company to test and promote its product, using students as guinea pigs.

Parents tend to get angry when people start testing things on their children, even if they are harmless RFID devices. I know I'd object!

Thats crazy, surely thats breeching some sort of human rights on freedom. I can understand putting it on the troublemakers, but everyone!
