Since their introduction, RFID tags have been the subject of intense debate between privacy, consumer rights, and civil liberties groups and the companies that produce or employ them. Through their near invisibility and the fact that, unlike bar-codes and magnetic strips on credit cards, they can be read silently and imperceptibly from a short distance, RFID tags introduce the potential for violations of privacy in unprecedented ways.

Recomposing the University -
By Tiziana Terranova & Marc Bousquet
July 2004
