Labelling RFID Products
John3 writes "Following Wal-Mart's recent announcement that they plan to push RFID in their stores, CASPIAN (Consumers Against Supermarket Privacy Invasion and Numbering) has posted proposed legislation that would require a product to be labeled if it contained an RFID tag. Beyond the label requirement, the proposed legislation also sets up some strict restrictions on the use of RFID data. Even though RFID is not in widespread use, it's probably best to start working on these types of protections before the products are on the shelves."

Can't imgine the look on their face if their computer says their store has no goods in it.

Stick your new clothes in your microwave! Not only will they be rendered untraceable, but they'll be nice and warm, almost dryer fresh!
"So, anybody else know of an effective tag killer that doesn't involve destroying the item and/or setting it on fire?"
Destroying and/or setting on fire the people who try to sell stuff with these tags?
Yes, I am sure the opposite sex will make a point of scanning your clothing for RFIDs before introducing themselves.

Be careful putting things in the microwave. If they are metallic, they will spark, and frequently catch on fire. In very rare cases, putting metal in the microwave can cause nuclear fission!
