The FDA has released a report calling for the RFID tagging of
pharmaceuticals to help defend against counterfeiting. The word
"privacy" barely occurs in the report -- there's simply a reference to
HIPAA -- and it is not listed among the important unresolved issues.
The report is at http://www.fda.gov/oc/initiatives/counterfeit/report02_04.html
