Absolutely. For an interesting application, I just read about a poker chip manufacturer embedding RFID in the internal metal disc that gives composite chips their near-clay weight. The tags would allow the dealer, casino, audience, etc. to instantly see each bet, the pot, current stakes, house rake, etc. Put in real money, they could allow a well-equipped child, hot dog vendor, or pan handler to *know* you have an extra dollar in your wallet. -eg

Barry, I can't speak to the perspective of the folks at Baylor, but there is much RFID research is taking the social science implications head on. There is really interesting work going on at the Intel Researach lab in Seattle; Batya Friedman at Univ of Washington has done some interesting work, too. My colleagues in industrial engineering who deal with supply chain issues are also starting to collaborate regularly with people in the social sciences and in public policy/public affairs.
