RFID ushers in new era of security tracking
In the movie the security guards are watching their monitors, but the good guys/bad guys know how to defeat the system and gain entrance. They spray black paint on the surveillance camera lenses, or they cut electrical connections, or they distract or disable the guards. That era of security is now over, thanks to RFID technology. RFID enables tracking of security breaches through embedded sensors and hidden video cameras that can penetrate clothing or bags or briefcases. Security guards no longer need to watch monitors because the system sends an alert to a mobile device when security is breached. See the article at industrywizards.com.
This means that security checkpoints and fences are no longer necessary to provide security. Intruders will be tracked by sensors and by ID-dust, an invisible dust that can be tracked. Industrywizard is excited about the possibilities for reducing employee theft. It is easy to imagine other tracking uses for this technology as well. Today it is possible to saturate any physical area with invisible sensors that feed information back to a controlling agent without anyone knowing they are under surveillance.
