Oooh, gotta love that! scan someone's home, discover what they've got!
same with carry-bags!

Organized-crime's dream-world:
knowing exactly where the sweets are, to hit.

This'll be legislated quickly, 
as organized crime isn't the only authority 
interested in obliterating independence/privacy.
There's no need to add RFID tags to anything.

It would be far simpler to have manufacturer's register a parts manifest for each model (perhaps when they get an FCC approval ID), and then scan the product barcode when it enters the recycling phase.

At the moment there's no way that a robot could strip down the average electronic device, RFID tags or not. Most humans would find it difficult enough...
Because, silly boy, that work is too demeaning for a robot with a rat brain. Doesn't require any intelligence, any real thought processes at all, just mindless thrashing around. Perfect for government bureaucrats, however!
