[LINK] Surveillance in extremis

[Marghanita da Cruz]

Hi Tony and fellow linkers,

A few useful ontopic issues came out of this discussion (and a bit of 
surprising convergence for me -governance - ict - waste reduction) - 
could I add these as I think there may be a few on this list who can 
shed light on this.

-on the RFID issue my understanding is that stuff is being manufactured 
with RFIDs

-Walmart amontst others are using RFID to reengineer their whole process 
chain

-When Ryde Council bought new rubbish bins on behalf of their residents 
(as did Leichhardt Council recently, with an argument about health and 
safety issues) did they know there was an RFID in the bins

-Is this being linked into their systems (Roger alert)

-I am guessing, but I think Ryde council probably encompasses the 
technology park/macquarie university - so there are businesses and 
residents - also the NSW Government is amalgamating councils which has 
already produced some interesting politics.

-As a past owner of a unit in Perth, I was surprised at the frequency of 
correspondence from Real Estate Agents offering to sell my property(for 
the record it has been sold and the unsolicited mail has stopped).
