I have a piece of research in my hands predicting that if RFID gets to $0.01 we will be putting them in everything - pieces of clothing, car keys etc. The Use cases given are of course all very heavenly (find those keys) but a moments thought comes to some serious abUse cases, never mind a total, irrevocable loss of privacy.

What have they got to lose, they can't get much worse!
