"As with any scientific endeavor, whether it's the splitting of the atom or a 25-cent tracking device, it's up to us to decide whether to use it for good or ill. Unfortunately, our track record on that score is not very encouraging." -- Ephrain Schwartz, "Reality Check" column, Infoworld, vol 27 #13, 2005-03-28, p.18. (The column is mostly positive about the potential good of RFID.)
