RFID Good or Bad ?

[victor kruger]

Im sure you all know while your mobile device is turned on you are able to be tracked to within a very small area but how many people are aware of how RFID is already complimenting and taking it to a whole new level.


The usual tin foil hat thing about being tracked like you getting your dog or kids chipped right ? Well if you weren't aware all major developed immigration control nations are already using it. Think im kidding ?

Your new passport will probably have this symbol on it.
yup you guessed it its an RFID chip.Further reading here http://hasbrouck.org/blog/archives/001003.html

The future gen will be even smaller and probably powered by your natural electrical field as a battery making it a sender as well as a reading information storing tool.



No i'm not a tin foil hat wearer this is 100% used already and there's a whole industry grown up around it, it even has its own journalhttp://www.rfidjournal.com/

Currently used in an increasing amount of products instead of a bar code it is a business next step to increasing profit etchttp://www.rfidc.com/docs/introductionto...siness.htm

Examples of the current implementation of RFID include:

Logistics & Tracking
Real Time Item Location/ Item Visibility & Status
Anti Theft/Tamper evidence
Authentication
Asset Tracking
Hospital Equipment
Laundry & Library systems
Reusable Assets
Retail items
Personal Identification
Access Control
Animal Tagging
Car Immobilisers
Payment Systems
Road Toll
Electronic Tickets
Mass Transit Ticketing
Workflow Processes
Service/Maintenance Records
Remote Management
Mobile Data
Healthcare
Patient Operations
Drug Trials & Clinical Testing

All good you might think, it makes life much easier and convenient and safer, but what about the bad ? No im not going to get matrix or 1984 on you just the following basics, you can make up the rest.

The contents of an RFID tag can be read after the item leaves the supply chain

An RFID tag cannot tell the difference between one reader and another. RFID scanners are very portable; RFID tags can be read from a distance, from a few inches to a few yards. This allows anyone to see the contents of your purse or pocket as you walk down the street. Some tags can be turned off when the item has left the supply chain; see zombie RFID tags.

RFID tags are difficult to remove

RFID tags are difficult to for consumers to remove; some are very small (less than a half-millimeter square, and as thin as a sheet of paper) - others may be hidden or embedded inside a product where consumers cannot see them. New technologies allow RFID tags to be "printed" right on a product and may not be removable at all (see Printing RFID Tags With Magic Ink).

RFID tags can be read without your knowledge

Since the tags can be read without being swiped or obviously scanned (as is the case with magnetic strips or barcodes), anyone with an RFID tag reader can read the tags embedded in your clothes and other consumer products without your knowledge. For example, you could be scanned before you enter the store, just to see what you are carrying. You might then be approached by a clerk who knows what you have in your backpack or purse, and can suggest accessories or other items.

For various reasons, RFID reader/tag systems are designed so that distance between the tag and the reader is kept to a minimum (see the material on tag collision above). However, a high-gain antenna can be used to read the tags from much further away, leading to privacy problems.

RFID is here to stay, to be aware of it is the least you should do.

Footnote: Possibly also going to be integrated into the new $100 dollar bill ( currently unconfirmed )

Alright, that's it. I'm dropping out and moving off-grid - whether it's the remote interior of Alaska or a technologically backward third world country.

You know you can build a Faraday cage out of an Altoid can or any other fully sealed off, metal container.

Take a cell phone, put it in the can, and call it. If it rings, the container doesn't work. If it doesn't ring, you're in business.

As another check, take the phone while in the can, call another phone line with it, put the lid on it. If the signal cuts out, you're definitely in business.

This will protect your electronics from an EMP as well as protect you from your electronics from transmitting or receiving unwanted signals.

It's also a good way to protect your chip cards from theft if you have any.

As for surgical implants... well, that's what a home operating table is for

This crap just pisses me off. Someone just wants more and more power and control over us plebeians. They can all go to hell as far as I'm concerned! It wouldn't bother me if they didn't go about it in a sneaky way and I could turn it off whenever I wanted to. But NOOOOO they do this shit very connivingly!

This is NWO crap....so they can control us slaves....I want to be free!!!!!

I was talking to client today and really had to bite my tongue!!! Of course, he LOVES the RFID because he ships flat screen TV ordered off the internet and they are designing a system with the RFID to prevent fraud. Of course, so many people are only going to see the benefits and NOT realize the horrible things that this could turn into...

Here is what he described to me and what is happening in his business:

Scammer orders flat screen off internet to be delivered to their home. Upon arrival, the scammer takes the TV out of the box and puts items in it (such as a few bricks, etc.) that are the approximate weight on the delivery records. He takes a picture of the items, then he calls up the company he ordered it from and starts complaining and the whole "what the heck? You sent me a box of bricks!" and refuses to pay and then disputes it with his credit card or with PayPal. PayPal reverses the charges and then basically throws the entire mess back at the company who shipped the TV. They have to now PROVE that the scammer was sent the TV and not a bunch of bricks.

So.. they are now working on putting the RFID chip into all of their products so that they can basically come to the location and perform a simple scanand PROVE to authorities that the item is in the home. Of course if the scammer sells the item on ebay or Craig's list to someone else, then they will get away with it. It just never ends....

RFID is excellent for scammers. I can buy an RFID reader online for 10 bucks, walk down the street with it attached to my bag, and read everyone's RFID enabled devices as I walk by them.

I have my dogs micro chipped, which is RFID enabled Chip, that is injected into the scruff of their neck.

RFID is here to stay, and will be around for a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time.

RFID required in obamacare by 2013 or 2017.......

I haven't read the 2700 pages to verify this information, but the Bible says all men will be required to receive a mark in the right arm or forehead. This will be required for buying and selling. If you do not accept the mark, you will be on your own, but if you do accept the mark out of fear or just to survive, you will be damned for eternity....

When the Beast arrives, all will be forced to bow and worship the image of the beast. Those who do not will be decapitated. islam anyone?......or French Revolutionary tactics deployed by useful idiots ala occupoopers.....

So do you think the mark is a RFID chip?
