$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('MacG', 'I')t is VERY easy to imagine what would happen if these thingies were implemented for any application involving "security":
On day 1, every criminal worth his weight in crowbars will be immersed in an experience close resembling a geyser of true joy! The concept of "identity theft" will go orbital when they can read chips from meters away and clone them within seconds - phew!
Oh, you mean like what happened when the Mythbusters tried to expose the security flaws in RFID credit cards, and
the banks and credit card companies came down on them like a ton of bricks?
Well lets hope nobody else tries to use RFID for critical security purposes like
passports.
Despite the security flaws, the rollout continues. They are already talking about implanting ex-cons "for the public's safety" and children "for their protection".
The whole of human history is a refutation by experiment of the concept of "moral world order". - Friedrich Nietzsche
