Wonder if ill get a ticket every time I exceed 104kph. Licence be gone within a day.
This reminds me of the life time licence. Sold as one thing and replaced by another.

I have evolved as a KB member.Now nothing I say should be taken seriously.
& you do of course realize that every 'officially born' & 'registered child' - in NZ has had their DNA put on record..
...for like.. decades.. now...

Do you even know what those mean? And then do you understand why you asking that question is retarded when talking about RFIDs?
I'll explain - I'm going to presume that as a business owner, you have a Bank account somewhere. With that Bank account currently, there will be a whole lot of data (Address, D.O.B, Financial history yadda yadda yadda - you get the point).
This is NOT stored on the RFID.
It would be stored were it is currently stored.
"But Demon! How does it access it then?"
Well - an RFID typically only carries up to 2 Kb of Data (which is 4096 characters worth of data) - there are plans for 4 Kb and 8 Kb RFIDs (which translates to 8192 and 16384 characters worth of data)
https://www.rfidjournal.com/faq/show?66
For some applications (such as a Pet Microchip) - this is enough space for basic info - Name, Vet, Address etc. but in terms of holding a complete history - the storage capacity isn't there. How it would most likely operate is that the RFID would contain 2 things - a Unique identifier and a Key.
If you use online banking - your username/account number/access number is your unique identifier and your password is your key. At the server end (not the RFID end) your unique identifier is mapped and your public certificate is mapped (Public certificate works like the lock, your private key - held on the RFID - unlocks the lock)
So no, the introduction of this wouldn't lead to big brother being able to get all your data - the Data stays where it is (at least with current technology and implementation methods - if the memory capacity increases and more reliable methods of reading/writing are developed - this may change.)
Same with the Medical records - these are held securely at the Hospital end, but the RFID provides the unique identifier to look up the data and the key to access it.
Could RFIDs be used for mass surveillance - depends on what you mean by surveillance - As Bogan correctly pointed out, these devices are very short range, as such have limitations. In terms of using them like an AT HOP card - they could be used to build up locations of where the RFID had been scanned, and then from analysing that Metadata, identify patterns etc. However this is not the 1984-esque scenario painted by the Tinfoil hat wearing site that you posted up.
Is there some risks - yes - but they are greatly exaggerated and misrepresented by the Article.
To answer your earlier question - would I adopt this technology? No I wouldn't.
The why (for me) is that if I had an RFID, someone with physical access to my body could gain access to my Data, whereas with a password (known only to me and in my memory) means that I can still consciously control access to my data.
