Editing Radio-frequency identification (section)

===Government control===
Some individuals have grown to fear the loss of rights due to RFID human implantation.

By early 2007, Chris Paget of San Francisco, California, showed that RFID information could be pulled from a [[United States Passport Card|US passport card]] by using only $250 worth of equipment. This suggests that with the information captured, it would be possible to clone such cards.<ref>{{cite web|author=Iain Thomson in San Francisco|url=http://www.v3.co.uk/vnunet/news/2235666/hackers-clones-passports-drive|title=Hacker clones passports in drive-by RFID heist – V3.co.uk – formerly vnunet.com|publisher=V3.co.uk|access-date=2010-04-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100324060524/http://www.v3.co.uk/vnunet/news/2235666/hackers-clones-passports-drive|archive-date=2010-03-24}}</ref>

According to ZDNet, critics believe that RFID will lead to tracking individuals' every movement and will be an invasion of privacy.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9584_22-138001.html|title=Human chips more than skin-deep|publisher=[[ZDNet]]|access-date=2010-04-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100324122642/http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9584_22-138001.html|archive-date=2010-03-24}}</ref> In the book ''SpyChips: How Major Corporations and Government Plan to Track Your Every Move'' by Katherine Albrecht and Liz McIntyre, one is encouraged to "imagine a world of no privacy. Where your every purchase is monitored and recorded in a database and your every belonging is numbered. Where someone many states away or perhaps in another country has a record of everything you have ever bought. What's more, they can be tracked and monitored remotely".<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YDxDuMYVJdcC&q=RFID+Government&pg=PR9|title=Spychips: how major corporations and government plan to track your every move with RFID|author1=Katherine Albrecht|author2=Liz McIntyre|publisher=Thomas Nelson Inc|year=2005|isbn=978-1-59555-020-0}}</ref>
