California School Drops RFID Tracking Program
Brittan Elementary School in Sutter, CA, has abandoned an experimental RFID program after InCom, the company which developed the technology, pulled out of its agreement with the school. Last week, EPIC, along with the Electronic Frontier Foundation and ACLU-Northern California, urged the Brittan School Board in a joint letter to terminate the program that used mandatory ID badges to track children's movements in and around the school with RFID technology.
