RFID technology in theme park: mixed reactions

It's always good to know that RFID technology has contributed towards efficiency of a park management system. This RFID service provider illustrates beautifully how it works: http://www.rcg.tv/industries/14.html. My observation on technology illustration: synchronisation of database and central database seems to be a shady debate (on it's control and legitimacy).

In common cases, most theme parks provide wristband in it - where inadvertently they do not realise that it has RFID-enabled-applications. This is the means to avoid potential "lost" or "kidnapping" in theme parks. A great deal on the latter is found in Legoland, Denmark: http://www.rfidjournal.com/article/articleview/921/1/1/. However, last year in Staffordshire, UK, privacy was highlighted as major concern: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/ff6d7f30-cc1c-11da-a7bf-0000779e2340.html. Such effort to provoke the public thought on such RFID threat remains active, this tells why: http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/exhibitions/spying/pdfs/7.2.5%20Spy%20Implants%20664KB.pdf

My another observation: People would be able to know the impact when he or she has experienced such "lost" or "kidnapping".
