Why would I want any RFID tags working after sale: Well now what kind of a paranoid attitude is that? After all, I'm sure they have top experts working on ways to make these chips extra super-duper secure, don't 'ya know! We've pretty much licked that whole pesky problem of computer system security. You wouldn't mind living in a glass house with a saran wrap wardrobe and a whole set of always on web cams, would you? That's pretty mujch what it will be like with a house full of these things. Don't you trust your chip makers to ensure that your neighbors, and the script kiddie down the street, and the police, and the marketing people, and all of those seven billion or so other people will not be getting a complete real time updated inventory of what you've got, where you store it, and if you are moving it around?; Posted by: gardoglee Posted on: 05/20/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
