1. This is a pretty well known issue, but the software will catch up.

The best protection is to just disable the chip and forget about it.

All one has to realize is that the FCC dictates that you may not transmit on certain frequencies, with the excuse that it would cause interference that would damage existing reception and/or devices.

It would be a simple thing to create a smal spark gap generator to fry an rfid chip with a short pulse of radiant energy.


RFID will fail if the units are unreliable, and prone to external impusles, such as ECM or EMP. Why do you think that the Animal Id program (NAIS) allows a single rfid tag to be used on a CAFO of 5000 swine? It's because they fail, and just imagine the cost of tagging 500 pigs with RFID ear tags, and then maintain the database necessary to track them.

Then, think of the farmer who has only 10 to 20 pigs on the free range. He is not allowed to use one tag like the cafos, so he is burdened by the cost of materials, labor and administration, and that is prejudical to the small farmer. Same thing applies to the small farmer raising chickens or other poultry.

Or what about individual RFID tags implanted in bank notes? They can now track a bill throughout the economy, from printing press, to your wallet, to the supermarket cash drawer, to the bank, to the withdrawl, and perhaps to to the evidence room at the local police station, or the Nigerian Bank when it is deposited. Every transfer of the once anonymous concept of cash money now becomes an auditable transaction, ready to analysis by the bank, treasury, fbi, medical industries, etc..

Now that we know that the NSA has full, unfettered access to the cloud, it is not unreasonable to think that every electroninc transaction is not currently decoded, and stuffed into a massive database for subsequent analysis.

RFId chips in banknotes is not science fiction, and if the terminolgy "Chip" forces you to think of something bigger than a grain of rice, you need to open you mind and learn about nanotechnology, because we are using Atomic Force Microscopy and can manipulate individual atoms at will.

2. There are RFID tags implanted in bank notes? I didn't know that.

Are you talking about bank notes as in cash? Wow! That's a lot of chips.

3. They can be very easily, yes.

The chip can be as small as the period at the end of this sentance. Or smaller. This was one scenario posed in the movie America: Freedon to Fascism. It's available of Google video and it has a great scenario regarding RFID. Creepy, and on the money.

4. I have an Amex card like that. I'd better just leave it at home.

I don't need it.

Do all credit cards contain these chips now, or just Amex?

5. Many do

If your card says PayPass™ on it, that indicates an RFID chip (for when you want to tap it at the gas pump to pay, for example). You don't need a stainless steel wallet, I understand that even a piece of conductive mylar (like in shiny balloons) will do the trick. I put a piece of aluminum foil in an envelope and keep that envelope behind the outside bill in my wallet. That will keep Pablo from trying to read my ass with his cybergroper.

6. Chase is putting them in the new ones. If you watch the video....

Putting your CC card in a metal wallet will stop the transmission.
