Radio Frequency ID systems are already in use for a variety of applications including contactless road tolls and library stock control. This book discusses the much wider range applications some of which are already in use, some the subject of patents, and many more being planned. RFID tags can already be installed in clothing labels, watch straps, lipsticks, shoes, and every variety of packaging label. Unlike barcodes RFID tags can be unique to the item they are attached to. Notes the considerable surveillance potential of RFID which in turn has made RFID a matter of concern among civil liberties groups and increasingly among the general public.
