That was one of the reason I opted for the EZ-Pass, there are already 
plenty of ways for them to track me via my car and license plate without 
RFID. The fact is that RFID just makes it easier, and isn't that what 
technology is really about.

You drive around all the time with an unique ID screwed into the back of 
the car.

That is probably the most important thing to me with RFID, that it only 
transmits a unique ID that is later cross referenced by somebody else 
that has the information. I don't want my name and other info sent over 
RF waves, but if 2451346256345243245 does and then a cop or whoever can 
look up "2451346256345243245" and that brings up my info, that's alright 
with me.

As others have pointed out, if you have a cell phone you can already be 
tracked. All this tracking and keeping info on people has long been 
around before RFID.
