Is this because of the design of RFID chips, or is it possible to make one that doesn't?
What would stop them from putting a chip in you that wasn't dependent like that?

I get the whole thing that our personal data is everywhere, but I think that is more of a reason to be vigilant about what we allow out there, not a reason to become complacent to it.

I'm open to being convinced that this is more of a personal issue than a pragmatic one, but due to my heavy influence from dystopian sci-fi, my instinct is to feel absolutely repulsed by this idea.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
