regarding the "wireless classification tags" causing cancer:
these types of RFID tags don't emit any radio signal unless they're scanned, so saying they cause cancer is a huge stretch. i think they should examine the encapsulation material more closely -- perhaps try inserting the RFID capsule without an RFID tag inside it and see if the same rate of tumors is observed.
