ECPA
(Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986) Signed into law in 1986, the ECPA extends legal protection against wiretapping and other forms of unauthorized interception to e-mail, cellular telephones, pagers, computer transmissions and communications provided by private communication carriers. It also explicitly allows employers to monitor communications by employees using the employers' equipment. For more information, visit www.usiia.org/legis/ecpa.html and www.eff.org.

Specifically, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 (ECPA) imposes liability on any person who intentionally intercepts wire, oral, or electronic communications; intentionally uses any electronic, mechanical, or other device to intercept any oral communication; or intentionally discloses or uses any information obtained through such interception.
Assuming the company you work with keeps with ethical standards dictated by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, online omnibus surveys utilize e-mail addresses obtained from tens of millions of respondents who have opted in to participate in research.
For instance, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, which already outlaws wiretapping without proper consent, could be amended to cover RFID technology.
