Fools On The Hill - Senators Learn About RFID
Despite the failure of previous bills in the California Senate to look at RFID privacy issues or ban RFID use, the US Senate has been taking a closer look lately. A couple of US Senators recently initiated a special RFID Caucus to learn more about the technology had their first meeting this past Thursday, July 13. A few more Senators joined the Caucus, the goal being to educate themselves and the aides of senators about RFID and policy issues.
This is of course a good thing, because as more legislators understand the technology and its potential uses, the more likely they are to legislate RFID wisely. The question of whether RFID should be legislated is of course hotly debated, not just by the RFID industry but also writers and editors of magazines and websites.
