California Bans Employers from Requiring RFID Tag Implants
On Thursday, August 30th, the California State Senate passed legislation banning employers from requiring employees to be implanted with RFID tags. As you might recall, we posted a related article about Citywatch.com, a Cincinnati based security company that operates in California, on July 24th, 2007. Citywatch.com currently tags specific employees in order to keep classified information secure. State Senator Joe Simitian (D- Palo Alto), the bill’s sponsor, condemned human tagging as the “ultimate invasion of privacy.”
