RFID smart cards

Alan S. Reid of The Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen has written a beautiful masterpiece on "Is Society smart enough to deal with smart cards" at Computer Law & Security Report 23 (2007) pp 53-61. He argues that the smart cards have POTENTIAL to seriously undermine the human right to privacy as it may FACILITATE the surreptitious collection of personal data. His article also advocated about the privacy of consumers and proposing an effective enforcement of privacy legislation. Prior to this article, he also wrote on: RFID Tags and the European Union: Really Free Internal Distribution? Alan S. Reid, (2005) [JITLP] Journal of International Trade Law and Policy, Vol. 4, 1-30.
