RFID tech turned into spy chips for clandestine surveillance
Nox Defense creates chips (and even RFID Dust) for tracking property and people
By Sharon Gaudin

March 20, 2008 (Computerworld) An employee looking to steal confidential information from his employer sneaks into what should be a secure back room after hours. He pulls charts and files from a top-level financial meeting and slides them into his briefcase before heading back out.

What the insider doesn't know is that his shoes picked up hundreds of tiny radio frequency identification (RFID) chips that had been scattered across the floor. As he passes by an RFID reader near the front door of his office building, security will be alerted that he had accessed a secure area. The evidence is all over the soles of his shoes.

Sound a little like a scene from a James Bond movie? It's not.

Nox Defense, an arm of SimplyRFID Inc., said it has created an invisible perimeter-defense system designed to track things and people in real time -- all without their knowledge. The system that is made up of several technological pieces -- RFID chips the size of grains of sand and an RFID and video camera surveillance system.

1. Someone somewhere is planning an RFID dust 'slip and fall'.

2. And you know who is the big pusher of RFD chips in passports?--Maura Harty,
the former aide of George Schultz (among other things), and person in charge of passports who passed the 9/11 hijackers into the country, who has been associated with the Obama passport spying scandal. Snooping on everybody but the right people--or patsy for somebody else. Who knows, at this point?
