RFID: To Regulate Or Not To Regulate?
Law makers in the US and EU have been considering regulating the use of RFID in their respective districts. The European Union commissioner backed off, deciding to let the technology mature before imposing regulations.
In Washington state, RFID legislation didn't make the Floor. It sought to impose rules on how RFID would be deployed and used to collect personal data. In Wisconsin, a new bill was just passed that prohibits US currency and documents to be embedded with chips. Previously, the state passed legislation banning forced chip implants.
Implants in particular are going to be a hot law issue in the years to come, Companies like VeriChip have been trying persuade anyone and everyone to implant, including soldiers, and diabetics, and have used them on corpses during disaster recovery.
