Did you see the story about RFID for library books in the Statesman. Some day Homeland Security can just drive by yor house and see what you’re reading….
RFID doesn’t work? Interesting. IEEE Spectrum hasn’t picked up on the issue, or at least hasn’t done so yet. Have any details on what the problems are and how likely they are to be resolved?
