no you can be scanned without knowing-you don't know how far the radio
frequency reaches - you don't know how far special equipment can scan you

it's not so easy my humble friend - i was talking about RFID as a phenomenon
not Oyster

the future can/will look like this

RFID on every Produkt like food etc.
or much worse :shoes (i seldom change my shoes when i'm out of house)
even worser RFID in the body (e.g. stomach)

it will hardly be possible to avoid this technique
and only a scanner will show you where they are ....

ok i'm paranoid but i need a scanner


so
