What
Is RFID?
RFID stands for Radio
Frequency IDentification,
a technology that hooks miniature antennas up to tiny computer chips
smaller than a grain of sand to track items at a distance.
Because of their stealthy potential, we have nicknamed
these chips "Spychips." When a spychip is combined with
an antenna, it creates a tracking "tag."
RFID Spychips have been hidden
in products on shelves at Tesco, and they have already been used
to spy on consumers.
Have you already taken an RFID Spychip
home with you? It's time to ask Tesco if there's a tag in your
bag.

TESCO Snaps
Your Photo?
As reported in the London Times and the Guardian,
hidden cameras at Tesco have taken mug shots of people picking up
products with Spychips. Now, the press reports that Tesco "expects
to finalize a deal within weeks for the purchase of millions of
[RFID] tags." It's time to take a stand.
Don't let Tesco spy on YOU!
