University of Arkansas RFID Research Center's Bill Hardgrave

I met today with Bill Hardgrave, the executive director of the RFID Research Center here on campus. He, too, was very accessible and friendly. I found it important to talk to him, representing the main "opposing viewpoint" of Katherine Albrecht and Liz McIntyre and the privacy advocates and concerned Christians. He brought out an amazing array of gen 1 and gen 2 tags, as well as a vial of liquid containing many RFID chips about the size of a grain of sand, literally (made by Alien Technology). He seems very genuine and passionate about the potential of RFID and the changes he believes it will bring to the world. It was a good meeting and I look forward to further meetings with him and his lab staff.
