A.
Visa. Visa wants to implant chips on your person or in your cell phones so you can do daily things without opening your wallet, but is that the real case? RFID chips also track your every move. Opening my wallet isn't as big of a deal as that. Now realize, when I say ON your person I don't mean IN your person, like other big corporations and probably Visa would later on suggest too. It's a smart card with a chip in it that releases radio frequencies (as RFID chips do) from either your wallet, or wherever you put the card. However, the better the receiver, the farther away you can be read. Kind of like a sensor phalanx, if you know what I mean.
B.
Michelin tires. The chip can also store information about when and where the tire was made, its maximum inflation pressure, size and so on. Information can be updated with a handheld reader. "The chip can also store information about when and where the tire was made, its maximum inflation pressure, size and so on. Information can be updated with a handheld reader." click Michelin tires at the beginning to get more info on the tires. Either way, in this case, you will also be monitored wherever your car is. The good thing: You might take more walks.
C. Are you in Europe? Do you know what a Euro note is regardless of if you live there or not? RFID chips will also effect your lives. Congratulations, your
central bank is among the first to implant chips into their money! That's right, these chips that are
1/3rd of a millimeter across are in your money and now some money cannot be counterfeited. "Cash is the last truly anonymous way to buy and sell. With RFID tags, that anonymity would be gone. In addition, banks would not be the only ones who could in an instant divine how much cash you were carrying; criminals can also obtain power transceivers."
D. Wal-mart was the first supporter of Bar Codes, and since they supported it, their main suppliers did too. That isn't the problem here though, the problem is that RFID chips are also now supported by Wal-mart, and at 50 cents a piece, you can't go wrong with the big items. RFID chips' prices are slowly dropping and when they become 5 cents, it will be cost efficient to put them in almost every product over a dollar in cost. Gillette, also in the market of Wal-Mart has bought RFID chips to sense when their products are going low, and sending a message through radio to the Gillette business, they will automatically ship more. Shaving your face and the location of your garbage can is now known to big companies if you use this product
Home Depot, The Gap, Proctor & Gamble, Prada, Target, Tesco (a United Kingdom chain) are also among the list of widely known stores across the world other than Wal-Mart that happen to use/like the idea of RFID chips.
E. "There is no law requiring a label indicating that an RFID chip is in a product. Once you buy your RFID-tagged jeans at The Gap with RFID-tagged money, walk out of the store wearing RFID-tagged shoes, and get into your car with its RFID-tagged tires, you could be tracked anywhere you travel. Bar codes are usually scanned at the store, but not after purchase. But RFID transponders are, in many cases, forever part of the product, and designed to respond when they receive a signal. Imagine everything you own is "numbered, identified, catalogued, and tracked." Anonymity and privacy? Gone in a hailstorm of invisible communication, betrayed by your very property.
But let's not stop there. Others are talking about placing RFID tags into all sensitive or important documents: "it will be practical to put them not only in paper money, but in drivers' licenses, passports, stock certificates, manuscripts, university diplomas, medical degrees and licenses, birth certificates, and any other sort of document you can think of where authenticity is paramount." In other words, those documents you're required to have, that you can't live without, will be forever tagged.
Consider the human body as well. Applied Digital Solutions has designed an RFID tag - called the VeriChip - for people. Only 11 mm long, it is designed to go under the skin, where it can be read from four feet away. They sell it as a great way to keep track of children, Alzheimer's patients in danger of wandering, and anyone else with a medical disability, but it gives me the creeps. The possibilities are scary. In May, delegates to the Chinese Communist Party Congress were required to wear an RFID-equipped badge at all times so their movements could be tracked and recorded. Is there any doubt that, in a few years, those badges will be replaced by VeriChip-like devices?
Surveillance is getting easier, cheaper, smaller, and ubiquitous. Sure, it's possible to destroy an RFID tag. You can crush it, puncture it, or microwave it (but be careful of fires!). You can't drown it, however, and you can't demagnetize it. And washing RFID-tagged clothes won't remove the chips, since they're specifically designed to withstand years of wearing, washing, and drying. You could remove the chip from your jeans, but you'd have to find it first." <- good luck with the last sentence.

and with all that said, need I remind you, Corporations have the right/ability/availability of censorship. While we normal, small, one on one human beings are forced to tell the truth. Who's tagging you? Are you aware?
