Lessons Learned from RFID Field Test
muddy_mudskipper writes "From John Young's cryptome.org website, is a newly posted pdf copy of the "Lessons Learned from RFID Field Test" as compiled by the Field Test Program Manager of the Auto ID Center. It is interesting to note the photographs of the different passive RFID antennas that could be used in product packaging - some small enough to fit into a soap box. Also curious is how many sector antennas have to pepper the test center in order to approach 100% RFID readability. 'In March 2001 a team comprised of Auto-ID Center sponsors (technology & end users) was assembled to plan and implement a Field Test aimed at taking the Auto-ID EPC technology from the laboratory to the real world environment with the objective of proving the power and effectiveness of the EPC and to blaze a trail for future adoption' "
What we need now are edible RFID tags which fast food franchises can put in their happy meals and which will lodge in the gut of their consumers.

This way, as soon as one of them waddles into their store, ones favorite happy meal will be ready for you by the time you get to the counter!!!
Convenience!!!
That will be double plus good!
In the free world the media isn't government run; the government is media run.

...thereby immensely frustrating the tinfoil hat community.
Everyone will start to cheer when you put on your sailin' shoes.
It fits in a soapbox you say? Well do you mind getting of yours so I can scan my RFID tag...?
I like how they tried to obscure the "Gillette Venus" printed on the boxes in the PDF file but the overlay image doesn't appear until the picture is completely loaded.
/. articles on Tomacco & Skittlebrau I should have figured otherwise.
This reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer builds a webpage and starts calling himself Mister X. When the web graphic loads, it first loads Homer's picture, and then loads the ? bag over his head. he he.
Never thought I'd see it anyplace but on the Simpsons, but I guess with the recent
The kooks and extremists will be coming out of the woodwork over this story. Turn off the Alex Jones and quit reading your From the Wilderness newsletters for a minute and get it in your head that the Patriot Act, the War on Drugs, the War in Iraq, gun control/bans, DMCA, NAFTA, GATT, FTAA, globalism, income tax, social programs, etc are good and necessary to ensure our freedom.
So, quit listening to filth and learn the truth. The government is here to help and this RFID is a good thing if it helps the government track you.
For a moment there, I read that as "I'd tag all my tools, the remote controls, the kids, and anything else we habitually lose".
I guess this is the result of growing up as the oldest of six =p
