RFID Use Could Be Limited in California State Buildings
SB 682, the Identity Information Protection Act, was passed by the California Senate last May, following concern about application of the technology in a school in Palo Alto, Calif., that used RFID tags to report student attendance.
Parents reportedly became concerned about the students’ personal information being obtained surreptitiously through use of the RFID technology. But Holly Sacks, vice president of marketing for access control developer HID Corp., Irvine, Calif., maintains this was a misuse of the technology.
