[OT] NH protest against HP printers with RFID chips Nov. 5th

[Travis Roy]

Is RFID for inventory really that big of a deal? My understanding 
Wal-Mart uses them for inventory control, much like a barcode.

Considering I already carry three RFID cards in my wallet (one for each 
datacenter I go to) and then one in each car (EZ Pass) and I had one 
when I had an Mobil Speedpass I really don't see the fear.

The range is so limited unless you have a active device (like EZ-Pass) 
and the fact that Wal-Mart is using them for inventory control (as in 
item number, not unique ID for every single printer) the only thing 
anybody can really "track" is that you bought printer..
