RFCs are not gospel. They can, and, in this instance, should, be changed: either remove that last item, or stately explicitly that there is no expectation of privacy at IETF meetings.  (I have a sinking feeling I know which way that will go.)

Why shouldn't getting the list of a meeting's attendees require a subpoena?  The cost argument is bogus; equally, there are those who think going to a judge for permission to wiretap is a waste of time and money.

Put the money you save on NOT installing RFID kit into a fund for handling subpoenas (only half joking).

PS: Yoav, regarding your remarks on street surveillance, from the IETF Note Well:

"A participant in any IETF activity acknowledges that written, audio and video records of meetings may be made and may be available to the public."

A camera over meeting room doorways is next.
