RFID Tags, if you haven't heard of them, are small tags (think a grain of sand) containing data reacting to radio waves, bluntly put.

Does anyone else think that it will have purposes other than simple shop-lifting prevention?

Spam. Like in that movie with Tom Cruise. He walked around and the advertising on bilboards and on buses were directed at him personally.

There was a bit huge topic about this a number of months ago, and i went on a big research thing into it. Happydud and i were planning on building personal RFID jammers to wear around.. but we never got around to it.

GBK said he had schematics for one.

We need to get around to IMing GBK.

Yep. The funny thing is, by some twist of hte PATRIOT act, just possessing those plans is a terrorist act...

I used to believe that we must fight the future, lest change come without our consent. I was wrong. The truth is that we must embrace the future, for only with change can we remain the same.

Cross them over the border.

I'll take a copy too

I was going to say "666!" before I opened the article. A bit of a disappointment!

If you can read this, you need better glasses.

I don't like these RFID tags. Some things that seem good and powerful shouldn't be invented.

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

Well then, by golly, call GBK a terrorist.

And soon you can call me one too. And dor. And Flex. And Tony. And then, we can plant them on the Presidents computer, and we can call HIM a terrorist for real!!!

That's actually a pretty good idea...

Start getting used to the idea government watching over you like a hawk. It will happen. It's human nature.

As for other uses for the tags, for some reason, I get this mental picture of using them as tracking devices on your kids and stuff. Sure, it would suck, but it's going to happen.
