On the news they said that it couldn't be hacked. On your way to Shmoocon or way back I think Renderman needs to stop in RI. Better yet anyone want to donate the Book RFID Security to the school district.

Brown also raised concerns that unauthorized people, perhaps using RFID readers that are easily bought online, could exploit information contained on the tags.
Ed Collins, the district's facilities manager, said that would not be possible. Collins and Rapp said the RFID tag would only contain an ID number, not a name, address or other personal information. Only the school administration would be able to match the ID number with the child, Rapp said.

Someone needs to give Ed a reality check. No flame intended but isn't facilitates manger another name for head maintenance man. His contact info is available on the web for anyone who can search. Not advocating anything bad just to be clear, perhaps e-mail him a few security papers on RFID so he can make a better decision. I love the way he puts the lives of children in the hands of some startup company.

It's for the children, and of course any tech savvy child molester. The usual statements are being made, the ends justify the means, the benefits out weigh the risks. Ahh, nothing like paving the road to #$%^ and back.
Of course the ACLU is already up in arms about it.
