So while mobile phones definitely have untapped potential usages, I think RFID tagging on the products will give more information to those who love to profile their customers and potentially have uses for us lowly consumers, too.

Note, however, that this variety of human tagging is entirely voluntary, unlike that which I was proposing. Then again, I suppose carrying a cell phone is also a voluntary decision - hence the reason I don't carry one.
