This article is quite a cutting-edge of RFID research - especially linking the privacy concern towards consumers. The latter is also one (1) of my primary interests in RFID interdisciplinary research. I stumbled across this impressive sixty three (63) pages of Article: "RFID and Privacy: shopping into surveillance" jointly authored by George Hariton, John Lawford and Hasini Palihapitiya - all from Public Interest Advocacy Centre, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. All of these authors have beautifully analysed the Canadian legislation - Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) as well as analysing the views made by the Canada's Office of Privacy Commisssioner (OPPC). The paper argues extensively on PIPEDA and OPPC's views and cross referred to the neighbour's legislation - US (particularly California). The paper was thoroughly researched through Industry's Canada funding. I am still reading the first (1st) quarter of the pages - and yet, there are already many questions and analysis that I have reserved for them. The article is readable here:
