Cancer or no, I wouldn’t go near an RFID implant. These things don’t have off-switches. They don’t have disclosure policies. They don’t have logs, or even notifiers. That means that you can’t stop people from interrogating your RFID, you can’t choose who gets to interrogate your RFID, you can’t see who has polled your RFID — and you can’t even know when your RFID is being read. You wouldn’t carry normal ID that behaves this way, but from London’s Oyster Card to the DOT’s FastPasses to the new US passports, these things are being stuck to our person in ever-greater numbers.
