In a recent report at SearchSecurity.com, one Chip Maker reportedly pressured away from debate and exhibition a demonstration of how the Flea - the microscopic RFID Chip you don’t want on you - can be cloned.

In the security business, cloning any identification whatsoever breaches security. It punches a hole in the boat so the very idea of that floated security theory can sink like a rock. It’s my surmise that many of the predictions of the hazards of RFID technology are coming true.

One of the worst of those forecasts is how the industry responds to criticism. More appropriately, how it responds to refusal.

Since the beginning, I’ve posted forecasts of the industry’s attitude on intrusion, destruction of privacy in mistake, abuse and retaliation, and the campaign to ram the Flea down our throats. Now it’s happening when some wonk wants to prove at a conference the defects in the very concept. It can be cloned, reportedly with only $20 worth of materials.

This is part of the information the citizen needs to make their best informed decision, and it’s being silenced. If you thought the Flea was harmless to you because you have nothing to hide, your blind spot is in your (our) freedom of speech being skunked – you know, the kind you depend on to make your best informed decisions. For many millions following the concept with an open mind, most won’t hear about the way to clone your various RFID Chips for the cost of a year of Sports Illustrated.

The RFID Industry is responding predictably: discouraging and pressuring the exhibitor to drop the exhibit - censorship - and then promising layer upon layer of hi-tech security on the Flea. Sounds ike they acknowledge the shortcomings, but fail to comprehend that nothing will work, because locks can be picked.

What the industry refuses to acknowledge in the whole argument is our right to refuse the Flea, outright refuse it.

In a free country, we don’t have to prove anything, furnish data or even have a reason: we’re sovereign, and no should be enough.

People want to make money on this, I understand, but not at the expense of our sovereign right to opt-out. The U.S. Patent on human implantation was granted in the early seventies, so they’ve been working onthis for a long time.

It’s time to say that assurances are irrational. No matter what the industry does to perfect the Flea in addressing our concerns, they will have positively no way of guaranteeing it nor will they ever make good on damages arising from the very existence of the thing in your body.much less in your wallet and credit cards. Any chip implanted on a person will contain some important data for it’s very existence and mission, and as such, will be desirable to thieves. If they can penetrate the veneer – and all locks can be picked – then all the promises will be irrational and all the solutions ineffective. Many individuals will suffer nightmares of identity theft, mistake, and worse - and the industry will consider you collateral damage.

It is not that people will get through and into your stuff if they really want to - it’s that another repository of data now exists within the reach of thieves more than ever before. It’s not the lock, it’s the electronic duplication storage of vital data when before, it was resident somewhere else for the most part beyond the reach of most thieves. Understand that sensitive personal data has not been readable at a distance and through solid objects until the arrival of the RFID Chip. That’s the difference. And it’ll be within reach of millions of thieves.

Why don’t the proponents take their own chip? What’s in their wallet?  I recommend you log-in to your favorite search engine and plug in search term RFID to receive e-mail alerts on this topic from now on.

The Flea may be driven by profit motive, that’s alright, I guess, but we’re actually likely to pay for it in our privacy and sovereign authority. I don’t care what the benefits are - it’s too expensive.

The looting of the nation is a funny thing: we don’t pay for looting with money, we pay for it in sovereignty.

There is only one way for the RFID Industry to address our concerns the way it should be in a free country: drop the idea.
