Just recently in a national newspaper there was an article on the Baja Beach Club in Spain using the technology to offer customers a better and quicker service. The customers who had endured the £83 minor operation could simply just walk past a scanner at the clubs entrance avoiding the line and go straight in. Then at the bar all they have to do is flex their bicep and as simple as that they get a Malibu and coke. It’s the brainchild of the clubs owner, Conrad Chase and allows the member to have complete freedom around the complex without having to carry any money of identification at all, but as you can imagine it has had some opposition from certain organisations, who most of all can’t believe why someone would want a “minor operation” just to get served that little bit quicker at the bar.

Another organisation drawing up plans for RFID usage is the Bush administration in the USA. They want to create smart passports making it harder for illegal individuals to enter and travel around the country. They argue that using RFID chips would make the need for a customs gate obsolete and instead just have a radio wave scanner that could cover a whole terminal making the travelling for the user not just safer but easier as well. But again as you can imagine there some people who aren’t as keen as Mr Bush and his friends on this new idea of freeing up information communication.
