Privacy advocates against RFid for Driver’s Licenses
According to published reports privacy advocates are urging Homeland Security Department not to include RFid chips in its regulations for implementing the Real ID Act for state driver’s licenses. The reasons stated are that RFid is costly, is not a standardized technology and will invade privacy as a result of unauthorized reading of chips. It is expected that the cost of implementing RFid would cost $ 17 billion instead of the estimated $ 100 million. The major worry is regarding privacy issues which need to be addressed otherwise it can shake the RFid industry.
