Solve : News about RFID apps.?

RFID can refer to the tiny things that sound an alarm if somebody GOES out of the WallMart store without PAYING for a pair of socks.
But a RFID could be used in many innovative ways.
Below are quotations...

Companies begin planting microchips under employees' skin
3/9/2015 - The technology has been around for some years now, but the use of RFID (radio-frequency identification) chips and other beneath-the-skin implants has only recently become more widespread. A high-tech office complex in Sweden is now offering tenants' staff the option of having a small RFID chip implanted...

RFID tracking armbands forced on all residents near California music FESTIVAL
6/8/2013 - Local residents living within a one-mile radius of the venue for the popular Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, which takes place annually in Indio, California, got an advanced preview of the emerging American police state this year. According to a recent report by the Los Angeles Times (LAT),...

New World Order: Implantable RFID chips capable of remotely killing non-compliant 'slaves' are here
10/26/2011 - Positioned as the solution to eliminating identify theft, lost wallets and purses, and a host of other information breaches, the all-inclusive implantable RFID tracking chip is gaining momentum for widespread implementation. Recent news reports indicate that an RFID tracking chip capable of killing...

This is off topic. It is worth noting, "naturalnews" is a fairly well-known source of psuedo-scientific and downright false information, and is not a very trustworthy source of news.

The "naturalnews" articles, when they have a source, typically veer quickly away from the presented facts and start to "speculate", using poorly structured logic to make unreasonable conclusions, usually proferring a concept derived from the dystopian perspective of many conspiracy theorists in almost all of these articles.

1. "Companies begin planting microchips under employees' skin"

Compare this article to the "source" articles it presents and you'll see that the article is based on a lot of wanton speculation. It ignores that this particular application is demonstrably more convenient than what it replaces- security cards and avoids the problem of lost, stolen, or forgotten security cards. Instead, the article latches onto the conspiracy bandwagon, and it writes speculatively based on that for all but one paragraph. Likely related to the third articles "conclusions".

2. "RFID tracking armbands forced on all residents near California music festival"

This claims a source in the LA times:

Quote

According to a recent report by the Los Angeles Times (LAT), the Coachella's use of RFID (radio-frequency identification) wristbands to track attendees has been extended beyond just ticket holders to residents living around the Empire Polo Field where the festival takes place, even though forcing these tracking chips on the public is against the law.

They fail to link the source. However, other websites website covers the same thing, and use this LA times article as evidence. In particular, this quotation:

Quote

No one can so much as get within a mile of the Empire Polo Field, where Coachella is held, without wearing one. Local residents, whose homes surround the polo field, also have to wear one just to get to their houses, and Guitron said homeowners must also register their cars.

The problem is that it is painted as being "forced"; I find this incredibly unlikely. In Areas that have a high-volume, annual event like this, the local HOA of that area typically includes cooperation with additional terms related to that event as a requirement, and those properties that are rented include additional terms in the contract that the tenant must also be in compliance with these terms. I wasn't able to find a PDF or other link to the contract on the applicable HOA website to confirm this, but it would explain why I could also find zero first-hand complaints by people living in the area, since those individuals would be 100% aware of their responsibilities as per the contract.

The third article, titled "Implantable RFID chips capable of remotely killing non-compliant 'slaves' are here" is, of course, sensational. Their logic in the article is effectively:

-RFID Chips can contain poison or cyanide, and be programmed to inject the individual when they receive a certain radio signal.
-RFID chips are APPROVED by the FDA
-Therefore, the Government is planning to use RFID chips to kill people who question them

The last step is, well- a leap and not a logically sound one. It is as sound as:

-Computers can be used to control nuclear weapons
-Computers are constructed by Dell
-Therefore, Dell is planning to kill everyone on Earth using nuclear weapons

To explain- we can pare it the original down to the two statements and conclusion, revised for simplicity:
-RFID chips can be programmed to kill
-The FDA approved RFID chips

-therefore the FDA wants to kill people
Both of these are true. However, the conclusion's (and speculations made in the article) effectively assert that, because RFID chips are approved by the FDA, the government is planning to use them to control track, and kill people. This does not logically follow any more than my Dell example- it is a logical fallacy, which I believe is known as "Affirming the consequent". Only those looking for a particular conclusion will accept this sort of reasoning.Than k you BC.
Yes, it is sensational and should not be taken seriously.
But what is interesting is the improved capabilities of RFID chips. They are being use to improve security, protect property and lower costs of some factory work.

It should be noted that this technology is also laced NFC. The letters represent Near Field Communication. This means data can be sent over a short distance very reliably with modest investment in NFC technology. But it does not work at long range. (References on request.)

A few of these sound sensational, but near as much as the "naturalnews" site I used in the first post.
