I really don't see this as for the good of the people
This just to make money. They can track how many people entered the gift shop as compared to how many bought something. They can monitor how long people will wait in line before calling it quits. There is lots of business reason for this and the least of which is to keep track of kids. I think that reason is just to make people think the Park is giving them some benifit when the reality the RFID is purely to improve the system that generates money.

I have nothing against RFID if it's tag that is tossed asside when it's no longer need. Such as in leaving an ammusement park or after I've purchased an item.

My real problem with RFID is if it's built into a product I'm keeping even if only short term, if it's implanted in the body, or if it has personal information stored on it. I really don't want to see a credit card with RFID in it!

I fear government about as much as I fear a gun. It's the person manipulating government that you don't see that scares me. Those people pulling the strings with massive amounts of money. They are dangerous people. I'd say they scare me more than terrorist do. I terrorist may kill you but these hidden enemies manipulating the government can make you life a living hell. Death is just a minor adjustment I can deal but being abused by mysterious finacial contributors till I die is not something I like think of.
