Katherine Albrecht is the leading advocate for consumer privacy in the world. She founded the worldwide organisation CASPIAN (more info here and here). She is out there every day fighting to protect consumers from invasive data collection by corporate entities.

The book Spychips was put out to illustrate what corporations have in store for RFID - what the world is moving towards. To help get the message out she has very recently put out an alternate version of the book.

Both versions are:

Spychips : How Major Corporations and Government Plan to Track Your Every Move with RFID

and

The Spychips Threat : Why Christians Should Resist RFID and Electronic Surveillance


I am not one to judge people by their religion or beliefs. What I do know is that this woman is fighting to protect us, that the issues she is fighting for are very real and very important, and that RFID is a reality that is not going to go away by itself. If she can reach out to even one more person by putting out a different version of the book, calling RFID 'the mark of the beast', and quoting some bible text then more power to her. If you don't want to hear that just get the original version of the book.

Or you can go for option 3. Stay at home. Do nothing. Close your eyes. Go back to sleep. And let your players correct you during your SR4 games about what RFID chips can and can't do.

edit: Here is an interview with the author.

I am certainly happy with anyone who fights for my privacy. I would also agree there's a lot RFID COULD be used for. But there's a difference between what it can be used for and what it IS used for. There are plenty of technologies available now that could be used for nefarious ends but aren't. For the reasons already stated, I suspect RFID will be similarly restricted.

Or I could call the Fashion Houses in Paris and let them know Tinfoil is this year's black :D

I don't really think it matters what she is fighting to protect.

The points that are made stand by themselves INSPITE of what views she holds.

The skinny is, though the tech may or may not be high enough yet to do what is being said, at some point it will be.

Laws should be made befor it becomes possible to keep it in check and still usable. Just like building flood walls befor the flood shows up, not after.

You don't want to stop the tech from happening, but restricte its use within the societies views of right and wrong.

As for the goverment, its been well documented its germ warfare reseach on the american public and came to light in such a degree, Cliton had to sign a bill that the american public can no longer be experimented upon without due consent.

(Notice, its wording is American public)

But the goverment is made up of people just like you and I and there are assholes and good people in it, but its the earlier one's you have to watch for and they WILL take advantage of anything that they can if possible.

Forsight with some logic and a will to back it, can go a long ways with dealing with this and other things related.
