Bracelets and anklets can be removed, also getting the data off them is slower. RFIDs have a lot of advantages that are perfectly legitimate for voluntary use. If you don’t want them fine, but this paranoid BS from the Luddite crowd is pathetic and disgusting.

What about it is luddite? There’s a world of difference between a bunch of people who are frightened they might lose their jobs to mechanical weaving machines and others who don’t want to be tracked. In the case of the former, the issue was productivity and in the long run the productivity provided by the machines was a net benefit to society. The latter is about privacy, not productivity. Your analogy is false. But your point is taken, you think this is all a fuss about nothing. We shall see.
