I will be travelling using services that ask for information from me that they actually need: destination, cabin/seating requirements etc. If they want to know who I am, they need a legitimate reason to know. Simply travelling anywhere at all is not a legitimate reason to be a party to my identity.

But hey, we should know who everyone is at all times, right? All it needs is everyone to accept RFID body implants and for everyone to agree not to abuse that system. What could go wrong?
