   Luciferian sects of RFID

   What if someone invents urban legends about RFID:
   
   - causing cancer?
   
   - being surveillance devices made by the CIA that tracks people?

   RFID hacking

   If the world is going to be swimming in rfid tags. I assume that readers are going to become commodity priced. Seems like it's time to start a meme about creative aftermarket uses of rfid tags.

   Yay!

   Another way for Wal-Mart to nose further into society! But this time, instead of taking over the small business part, they'll just take out the middle man and come right into your house. Yet another reason you shouldn't shop at Wal-Mart.

   privacy doesn't apply

   while they will no doubt move to chipping individual packages, the initial phase of this plan calls for putting the chips in cases and pallets, therefore privacy concerns don't apply.

   So these chips. Are they going to force them to work extra hours and lock them in dark break rooms when they don't?

   As long as there's no chip union.

   Re: 666 The Number of the beast

   Short time before the mark is on our skin.
   
   Its a pity cause I love wal-mart.
   
   Also you know law enforcement will have access if not co-located facilities to monitor all their rfid tags.
   
   I assume that all the stores will have some kind of client/server that relays it to some central database at HQ, the goverment will be located at each corporate HQ thus making it invisible to all customers and all but the highest company officers and engineers.
   
   The gov has monitoring station in every major telecom company. One of the places I worked had a goverment GPS system that they installed and maintained and we just monitored for errors.
   
   There really is no such thing as privacy anymore.
   
   The Mark will come soon..and anyone who wont take it..they will know where you are 247..plus all the rest of the Drones
