Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is the use of an object (called an RFID tag) applied to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification and tracking using radio fequencies.

RFID’s future is currently not known due to privacy regulations that may keep many of the applications from moving forward.

In the state of Illinois, they enhanced the already strong Federal eavesdropping law which says that one party may authorize a recording of a conversation.
