Cancer Lawsuits Could Halt RF Tagging of Children
By now, you've heard about the radio tracking devices a California school wants to place on students. And, you've likely heard the controversy it has stirred.
Parents of elementary and middle school students in a small California town are protesting a tracking program their school recently launched, which requires students to wear identification badges embedded with radio frequency, or RFID, chips.

Has anyone considered the tort potential when someone finds a link to cancer?
They plan to require an RF device on their person, and we are talking about children. There's no "proof" yet that exposure to RF (radiation) causes cancer. However, the evidence is growing that extreme exposure (very close proximety) does. These are K-12, and younger people have a much higher chance of living long enough to develop more obscure cancers due to carcinogen exposure.
Someone should start collecting names and contact information now on these first students. I smell a Dow Corning coming soon! (not really)
