It is all done because of the terrorists, and for your protection.

Draw out all the money from the bank*, and put it into the toolbox. Really, no joking. When you have a mobile phone, or a credit card, or one of the new german identity cards, you can be spotted anytime, anywhere, and your actions will build them a profile with which they will get you anytime.

Then RFID chips in your clothes: you enter a store, and the shop assistant greets you and astonishingly knows what you want to buy, which size you have, and where you bought what you wear. There may also be other information included, like your credit status. Those chips have no battery and are not bigger than a rice corn, stitched off into your clothes, and they survive washing and all kinds of abusing. Still NFC but who knows whether the range will not improve, over time.

Of course this is all leftist and tinfoil hat chatter, the right does not broach the issue. It is all done because of terrorists and to protect you, and to keep you from harming yourself.


*It does not bother me so much since there is no money on the bank anyway
