I can imagine some ways to deal with this. Have certain blocks of RFID address space assigned to specific companies, who publish what products they'll be used for. They won't specify what *individuals* will get what tags, just that it's a $2,500 Prada handbag -- which still raises the crime concern. Or you could use a multi-tier system like our current DNS setup. The root RFID address-space servers will point queries to rfid.example.com... -Declan
