Did her FOIA request involve the serial numbers of the IDs? Or just a request for all the students in the school? The article doesn't specify. RT is a hugely biased news source that tries anything to get bad press on the US, so I don't trust it as a reliable source.

If you have someone's address and an RFID reader, and they have an RFID chip, then what do you need the RFID serial number for? If you're already reading, then just go to their house and scan. If you get multiple, then go again during the day when you expect them to be at school.

That will get the vast majority.

And yes, I totally get that RT has no problem pushing bullshit; I agree. Doesn't mean we should discount it completely. We could miss a chance to improve.
