RFID chips, are they safer?

I've recently been forced by the bank to acquire a Visa Card with an RFIDchip, instead of my good old one, even though I wanted to keep the old. First they froze my old card, which doesn't reallyexpire until 2012, so I had to use the new card I had been given by mail. I then called them and said I wanted to use the old card, but no go, and they wouldn't send me a card without this chip.

So why don't I want to use this new chip, simple, inconvenience, I like to drag my card, rather than putting it some slot, I always manage to put the card in the wrong way :x

Either way, I was told that this new card is much safer for me, as a customer, when I asked why they couldn't give me an answer, then I said I didn't care if it was safe I wanted be able to use my old card,but no go.

So my question is, are these new cards with a chip, safer, any why?

They can locate it at all times in case you lose it or it gets stolen --- or any other reason.CptJSparrow

So they can locate me?

Now that's comforting

And the fact that I didn't even have a choice is disturbing, weird that there isn't more discussions regarding this.

And how is it safer for me, If I notice that my card is missing, I will just call and freeze it, so it has no significance for me if they can find the card or not. Also the criminals using the card is also aware of this, and will ofc just throw the card away after he/she has used it in an ATM.

The whole point of RFID chips is that they're trackable. That is the only reason you've now got an RFID chip (because I think there's no other reason).

Isn't the RFID chip banned in some states, that would be comforting to know if true.

If they start with RFID in humans I will personally plot to assassinate several politicians who are for this.

[QUOTE="Tjeremiah1988"] thats the purpose of the RFID chips, its to track people. They plain on implementing them into us to keep track of us. Basically the Bible defines it as the "mark of the beast". But thats another story, dont want to hijack thread. thriteenthmonke

I was talking in the event of which everyone in my country would be forced to have one, then they couldn't really enforce more Rfids.

Yes, you get rid of the problem.

The world isn't a joy ride, you can't solve everything with flower power. When the Germans occupied our country, should we just have written some whimpsy protests, or do sabotage and fight for our rights?

You assume that you could get everyone (or a whole lot)to protest, which is highly questionable as most people don't want to risk everything to try and make the world a better place. People are selfish and prefer to live in their own little bubble, so a few protesters won't do much good.

Besides, if RFID in humans were to happen, you can bet your ass, that most would just accept it, and think they are safer.

they intend on implanting people with them, even biden acknowledged the existence of this idea.OT_Rage

The lack of media cover on this topic is rather disturbing, I mean here in Norway, I haden't even heard of RFID in credit cards untill I got one in the mail. One would think that something as drastic as this would be something the mainstreammedia would at least give some attention
