To be honest, I don't really see what the big threat is about the RFID cards. When people say that they would be able to trace back to a person's credit card with it, I find that very hard to imagine, since the card is only designed to give advice on clothes and what would go best with what. Plus it's also helping the stores to by making suggestions on where to find the different clothes on different levels of the store.
RFID, as I mentioned earlier, are good because it can help people that are horrible at matching clothes and such, be able to actually do. Also, it is getting more profit for the stores that they at because it is making a suggestion to go to a different part of the store and see what they have that would go well with whatever you have on.
Personally, I'm not seeing at how these chips can be misused, because they seem pretty harmless to me. We can probably begin to encounter more of these not only in clothes stores, but in hotels and resorts where you can begin forming a tab to pay for at the very end, and also as mentioned, the fast food industry when it goes immediatly to your cell phone.
I think the privacy guidelines such as garment to a dress- room is not really good. They should be private. It could be useful incase people steal some stuff. It could be misused in many ways, some of the ways is that they can get stolen and people can look at things which are private to other people in the garment. I think I will encounter RFID a chip in the future is when I’m at work or at school at some point.
The only guidelines that I think should be established are that the RFID chip doesn't reveal private information. The chip can be used as a credit card for more security. In my opinion I don’t think the chip can really be misused. Maybe in department stores and maybe with watches
I don't see what the big danger is about the RFID cards. When people say that they would be able to trace a person by credit card, I think that is very hard to believe, since the card is only intended to give advice on clothes.

Because, if someone gets a personal information, then he can use his/her personal information for bad things. RFID chips could be used for prevent the fake money. If we put chips in all the money, so we can prevent for fake money. The ways in which RFID chips could be misused for seeing the personal information. I think I will encounter RFID chips may be in the store. So, store prevent thief.
The only privacy guideline that I believe should be established is that the chips shouldn’t be able to read your personal information and shouldn’t track you down where ever you go. To me I think the best way that this chip could be used is in credit cards, not to see what you bought and where you have spent your money, but for security reasons. The RFID chips are already being misused by the companies. In the future In the future the chips are going to be put on us.
Well I don’t understand the topic of RFID chips. Privacy guidelines for the RFID chips should be formed to operate at its safest abilities. I am not sure on the ways for RFID chips to be used for a good purpose. I am not sure if I understand it correctly, so this could be wrong, but maybe if a person forgets it and one of the employees stalks him/her. No where I hope.
Actually, I don’t think there should be some sort of privacy guidelines established regarding the use of RFID chips. Some ways that these RFID chips could be used for good purposes are for picking and matching shirts with pants for people who suck at matching clothes! Also, when people use this RFID chip, the store gets more money because people would start wanting to visit and buy things from a store that has these RFID chips. Like what Shannon had said earlier, I don’t see how these chips could be misused.
A way in which these RFID chips could be misused is by tracking a person down, but I don’t think that it could actually be possible. We could encounter these chips in the future at restaurants, hotels, and maybe even schools around the world!
