Fair enough. You do understand that RFID technology is currently being used,
and it's theorised it could be used just like Shadowrun has postulated,
within a couple years, right? So, while Shadowrun has gone overboard with
it, it's something that could conceivably happen. \: That's not something
I'm happy about.
