Security or Surveillance: The Potential Impact of Radio Frequency Identification Technology on Privacy Rights
Radio Frequency Identification tags are everywhere, from passports to consumer products. Many people are unaware that the keycards they use at the office, or stickers inside the products they buy, use radio frequencies which transmit signals that can be used to track their movements or purchases. From personalized billboards that identify you by name as you drive by to RFID embedded passports through which the government can pinpoint your location in a busy airport, the potential uses for this technology are limitless.
On Friday March 23rd, the University of Richmond Journal of Law and Technology (JOLT) will host a forum exploring the legal and political implications of RFID. The speakers will explain the current use of RFID by private corporations and government agencies, and discuss whether the current regulatory framework is sufficient to protect privacy rights.
JOLT will host a reception for forum attendees following the program. Please direct any questions about the event to Maciek Kepka, who may be reached at maciek.kepka@richmond.edu.
