    Well, I can't now, thanks to Slashdot. Good job Slashdot, covering up RFID tag conspiracies. :)

    - Construct a proactive framework to minimise negatives arising.
    - Assess consumer reaction if press develop scare stories and develop best messages to pacify.

    Which creates an interesting problem when buying a tin-foil hat, I suppose.

    Whoo hoo! Now I'll have an easy means to do my thesis!

    My topic: Tracking the migratory patterns of trailer-park-dwelling white trash with radio signals.

    The meteorology people are probably thrilled as well... no more trying to put instrument packages in a tornado's path, just zero in on the RFID tag in Cletus S. Yokel's sneaker, and track it when the tornado sucks him out of his double-wide.

    The problem with microwaving clothing would be the shorts I have on right now, for example. They have a metal zipper.

    WARNING: Do NOT microwave shorts before removing them from body. Side effects could include actually reading those spams that offer to help you grow larger body parts.

    Disable?

    Nah... too easy.

    What I want to do is reprogram the suckers so when they scan my clothing I will be wearing a alarm clock on my head, have a 12 pack of Gillete Razors hidden in my shoes, answer to the name of Rover, have my shots for distemper, but due for a booster on rabies.

    Oh, man, what are you thinking?!?!?! Never purchase a tin-foil hat! It could secretly be rigged with a mind-control device or fake foil which transfers the rays unfettered! You can't trust a tin-foil hat unless you've assembled it yourself. It's best if you can mine and smelt the ore and roll the foil yourself. Remember, you need to get it thin enough that it won't develop metal fatigue and crack along the bends - otherwise the microwaves and mind-control rays can seep in. ***grumble*** store-bought tin-foil hats... what next?
