What if a business person was afraid of HIV/Aids, and scanned you (without your knowing) before they would offer to sell you anything?
What if it was used for religious didcrimination? I'm sure Jehovas Witnesses would use it to refuse certain treatments. Others could scan just to find out if people were JW.
You put your medical condition on it. The specific condition is controlled with medication. A thief would probably find it easier to steal drugs from a person's home than a pharmacy. The theif just needs to find out what condition is treated with the drug he is looking for and then scan for a person with that ailment. Anyplace that is busy they could just stand nearby and scan - you would never know.
If there is any reason you can think of why you would want to keep your medical history private, then that is a reason not to get an RFID chip implanted. Because as soon as your data is on a chip, it is no longer private.
I'm amazed by the stupid lengths criminals will go to. I have no doubt that they would find many ways to use your medical history against you.
