RFID and The Department of Homeland Insecurity?

According to this feature, the Department of Homeland Secuity is feeling somewhat insecure about whether or not appropriate uses of RFID technology can be found for their needs. Obviously, there are somes specific concerns and issues we're all aware of, but if you read this report, if you're like me, you'll find it darn near impossible to figure out what exactly is rubbing their nubs the wrong way. While reading it, I kept saying to myself, 'Get to the point, please."

It says, for example... the technology is rife with security and privacy issues... Issues, sure. People do have issues, many of which are not based on reality. Did they really mean to say 'deficiencies?' They don't say.

Then there's this: The point, according to the DHS subcommittee report, is that utilizing RFID to track individuals presents potentially risky outcomes that are currently "difficult to predict."

I want to know what outcomes they're talking about. What potentials? Why difficult to predict? Until and unless groups like this get specific, I don't think they can expect the industry to respond very specifically and directly to known 'issues' or 'problems.'
