MSNBC Is Reporting A civil liberties watchdog group is expressing concern over the San Francisco Public Library’s plans to track books by inserting computer chips into each tome. Library officials approved a plan Thursday to install tiny radio frequency identification chips, known as RFIDs, into the roughly 2 million books, CDs and audiovisual materials patrons can borrow.
“The issue is other people, other institutions. What will they do if the RFID is insecure? Tien said. “We’re talking about the imbedding of location trafficking devices into the social fabric.”
