That's if you are able to have any say in the matter (which is unlikely).

"Having said that if the RFID tag is setup in such a way as to be potentially hazardous or a one stop-shop for a criminal to grab your identity and belongings, I'd be the first to dump the tag and get a phone without it."

That's if you are able to have any say in the matter (which is unlikely).

As with the existing IEMI (International Mobile Equipment Identity), you're very unlikely to have any say in the matter whatsoever.

As each of these these surveillance technologies creep in the freedoms of ordinary law-abiding citizens is further reduced.

In the end, it is very questionable whether the benefits of these all-pervasive, all encompassing surveillance technologies will outweigh their freedom-restricting disadvantages.

Just because they're possible doesn't mean that they are either necessary or desireable.
