RFID Chips
The Oyster Card transmits a unique serial number when interrogated by suitable equipment. "They" use this to associate your mobile phone with its GPS and unique serial number which can then be used to track you by triangulation between Mobile base stations and satellite. Within major cities in the UK and at key points such as rail stations, supermarkets, motorway service stations, banks and public buildings "they" use facial recognition CCTV to tie you to your mobile phone and Oyster Card. "They" of course tie in your bank account details to your mobile phone and Oyster Card. These details including mobile phone location are tied into your car's registration mark by ANPR cameras located at key points around the country. All of your travel is tracked and recorded at a massive database centre.
Your bank account and loyalty cards (such as Nectar) are used by "them" to track your spending patterns. Any unusual spending or transactions with suspicious organisations raise an alert which is logged for subsequent investigation. The use of cash payment in large sums are treated as suspicious and are reported by estate agents, car dealerships, solicitors and Banks. The major ISPs now required by law to track your Internet usage for consequent reporting to security services.

We use RFID at work a lot from gaining access into & out of carpark / building to paying for things in cashless canteen & vending machines.
It also helped get one employee the sack for telling lies about how a piece of equipment got badly damaged.
RFID on the forklift stores the last 40 operator log on's with time & date, using that info helped security trace what happened on the CCTV system & caught the person in the act
Another good thing about RFID keyfob system we use is if a keyfob gets lost / stolen it can be deactivated in seconds so it's then useless OR if you find a set of key's someones lost, security can read the keyfob info, find out who they belong to & return them.
