Abstract

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is an important and frequently utilized technology in our modern society. It gives its users the ability to capture, store, and access vast amounts of data with ease and efficiency. These abilities make RFID both an asset and a potential hazard. If used in the wrong hands, RFID could be appropriated for nefarious reasons such as data theft and invasion of privacy. Although RFID technology has been around for over 70 years, few laws directly address RFID or define illegal uses of it. Some of the ways that RFID is used in the following industries are thus explored: marketing, transportation, travel, shopping, supply chain management, agriculture, and hospitals. Some of the benefits, drawbacks, ethical concerns, and legal implications of using RFID technology are included, as well as recommendations for addressing ethical concerns.
