So then what's the problem?Getting the data is easy... putting it to use in a fraudulent manner is somewhat more complicated.
So why isnt it a widespread problem?Though, just pullng someone's card number, expiry date and access code would be enough to spend it in ways...
You cant even tell me if that was a chip, a piece of packaging, or put in there for the photo. I cant even see what it is. Why post a crappy picture that does nothing to address the concerns of the viewer when a simple Google search would have turned up news stories from at least half-way reputable sources that would have CONFIRMED what you claimed?Your unsourced opinion... how big do you expect the unsourced chips to be??? The injectable varieties of these chips are the size of an unsourced grain of rice... you asked where it was located... so I showed you. if you happen to buy a pack of gillette razors you'll know how to find it.
And knowing this, who cares? What does having an RFID chip in the products you buy harm you?
Im unhappy because you show me a crappy photo then expect me to have an OHMYGAWD moment for some reason I cant entirely discern.You'll have to explain it because you didn't think they were there... I showed you were to find it, now you're unhappy cause it's so small... the chips are small, that's where you'll find it, if you get a pack peel it out, you'll probably have a 'holy shyt' moment cause you'll realize it's not made up.... it's hard to debunk something when you can touch it in your own hands, right?
Especially when a frickin' Google search turns up WHY the packages are chipped and it has nothing sinister attached to it.

This is called technology, it advances. Why is this a problem?
You just got done admitting there wasnt a link YETIt just seems to cause cancer in the animals they test it in... perfectly safe. Best thing since breakfast.
Except it's not happening quite the way you seem to want it to.I'm not... I'm trying to explain the realities of the situation within the confines of the MSM (because everybody knows if it's not on the evening news it doesn't exist). We're not in the 80's anymore... when you can say 'it'll never happen'... when it's already happening.
I have never once decried the use of RFID tags. My point is (and has been) that there is no serious push by anybody with the pull to accomplish it to make RFID tags mandatory in the citizenry.Ok... eat your words again (although you'll move the goal posts or deny it somehow, you're skills at denialism are quite strong)

What you are doing is taking advancing technology and making a scare case out of it.
If you dont back up what you claim with something concrete and verifiable, people wont take what you say seriously. It's NOT that difficult to do.It's to the point where the discussion is so predictable it makes me laugh out loud... in reality, many don't want to know the truth about a subject and just ask so that they can make the next point... you'll notice that everywhere except the one area you've asked for sources, I've provided and you've come up with pretty weak excuses as to why it doesn't count.
