Privacy for RFID tags
,----[ Quote ]
| A common complaint about proposals to use RFID (Radio Frequency
| Identity) to tag everything from bank notes to underwear is that
| it opens the way for sophisticated privacy invasion. Someone with
| a reader could, once RFID is pervasive, read the valuables you're
| carrying, the contents of your wallet, and plan an attack
| accordingly. The solution so far: a kill function to disable the
| tags at the point of sale.
