Tags can be shut down (killed) in a second with a reader. That is one way to stop tracking. Privacy groups and doomsday speakers should concentrate more on having companies shut off the tags when they are done tracking them (sold from wal-mart) then scaring the general public.
Except some of the RFID tags are meant to be used repeatedly. While the shops use of RFID tags end at the store exit, and should be deactivated outside there (except that will cost more money, and seeing as this is a meathod to save money, they probably won't bother). But some of the other uses for RFID tags don't just end at the store exit. The EU is looking at using RFID tags in Euros as an extra layer in detecting of forged bank notes. In that use permently deavtivated RFID tags can't be done, and opens up the possibilty of muggers using a handheld scanner to select their victems. ktabic -- www.ktabic.co.uk Many sysadmins won't give you the time of day.
