But only for a limited time, they don't come with an infinite lifetime. There really truly is no reason for the large concern. If people are truly concerned about being tracked, again, don't use credit cards, store frequent shopper cards, bank cards, bank checks, library cards, etc. These are much more open to tracking. There is no reason for them to "spy" on users with these chips, the cost to the company simply would not be worth it.
