Exaggerated Concerns about “Privacy”

My former colleague Jerry Brito, who will soon receive his law degree from George Mason University, just published an enlightening piece in the UCLA Journal of Law and Technology, “Relax Don’t Do It: Why RFID Privacy Concerns are Exaggerated and Legislation is Premature.” It deals with a new technology that has some people up in arms — mainly the same kind of people who get upset that my local grocery store and my local pharmacy/drug store give me little discounts for having a card that allows them to figure out how many people in my neighborhood like Thai food or certain kinds of shampoo.
