Did you know there might be trackers in your clothing? RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags can be found everywhere. Their main use is to track inventory and prevent shoplifting, but there are lots of conspiracy theories about RFID and its ability to track people.
In this video we’ll explain how RFID works, why people are concerned about it, and the limitations of the tech that make it far less scary than you might think.

01:24 History of RFID
02:28 How RFID Works
05:59 Should you be scared?
07:04 Passive vs Active RFID

We do live in the big data world, so it's important to be aware of tracking threats and data collection around us. It's also important to know your own threat model and where each technology sits on the threat spectrum for your life, so that you can know how to best direct your energy.
