Or just plain ol' fashioned greed and 'shareholder value'. Have you seen the obscene profits insurance companies make? Of course the average Joe will always be told it's for his own good / the greater good. That's what gets things implemented. Then they cross the line.

As usual it's all about money (saving it, making it) and control (over the masses).]]>May 9th 2007 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/09/bermuda-to-rfid-tag-every-motor-vehicle/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/09/bermuda-to-rfid-tag-every-motor-vehicle/

so i can't imagine them using this system on fleeing criminals on the island. Not to mention the 3 major roads on the island are all two ways and about the width of a subcompact.]]>May 9th 2007 6:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/09/bermuda-to-rfid-tag-every-motor-vehicle/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/09/bermuda-to-rfid-tag-every-motor-vehicle/

I'm not saying I agree with this, but I'm certainly not surprised. My dad lived in Bermuda for about 7 or 8 years and I still have family there.]]>May 9th 2007 11:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/09/bermuda-to-rfid-tag-every-motor-vehicle/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/09/bermuda-to-rfid-tag-every-motor-vehicle/
1: Make and maintain a list of RFID IDs of vehicles belonging to people you want to track down. If one of these people appears in public with their car, it should not be too difficult to get the ID.

2: Put a custom machine in all vehicles in your fleet. This machine would have GPS, an RFID reader, and a copy of the List

3: Whenever it passes a vehicle on the list, it would store the GPS data/time of the match.

4: Thus it would be possible to discover people's houses/neighborhoods they drive in simply by passing them accidentally

5: Park a few of these vehicles in the general vicinity of where you think the person of interest lives. Use "hits" (detections of their vehicle) of them coming to/from work to narrow the range of where their house actually is.

It could also be used by intelligence agencies to track down government employees, if they were required to RFID their personal vehicles. It would not be too difficult to put a detector like the one I described on a road near some security facility and simply record every ID that went by during rush hour.

This technology would be as much of a threat to the American government as it would benefit the government. Therefore, it won't be used here. Our government will continue to rely on OCR of people's license plates, and other tech that isn't so easily exploited by the other side.]]>May 9th 2007 4:14PM
