Description: San Francisco library officials hosted a public forum Thursday
night to take up the thorny issue of radio frequency identification tags,
small, paper-thin devices that the city's library system wants to put in books
to improve inventory control. Critics of the idea say there are serious
privacy concerns about exactly what information would be contained on the tags
and how secure the devices would be. They fear third parties, bored hackers or
the federal government, might find a way to surreptitiously find out who's
reading what.
