Don't they realize, that when you start attacking critics of a technology as 'scare-mongers' that most people (including me) conclude that maybe there is something to worry about? After all, when the personal attacks start, it's because the reasoned defense has in some way failed (it's kind of like those radio broadcasts that begin, "Do not be alarmed. The government is in complete control."). So pencil me into the ranks of the 'scare-mongers' regarding RFID tags, those little transmitters inserted into clothing and other goods. Consider: "Under any scenario, there just isn't going to be post-sale data-collection about the movement of canned peaches." Oh no? Then how will they track down the contaminated cans? I am happy to be indifferent about RFID, but not until their defenders tell us the real story.
