 Description: San Francisco library officials hosted a public forum Thursday night to take up the thorny issue of radio 
frequency identification tags, small, paper-thin devices that the city's library system wants to put in books to 
improve inventory control.  Critics of the idea say there are serious privacy concerns about exactly what information 
would be contained on the tags and how secure the devices would be. They fear third parties, bored hackers or the 
federal government, might find a way to surreptitiously find out who's reading what.
