Student RFID Tracking Suspended from School
ewhac writes "As reported earlier, a Sutter County, CA, elementary school unilaterally took the dubious step of forcing students, under penalty of disciplinary action, to wear RFID badges with their name, grade, and photo. The RFID tags were read by sensors placed above classroom and bathroom doors (though the latter had been shut off). The system was ostensibly used to automate attendance-keeping. Well, InCom Corp., the company that provided the tech free of charge to the school, has abruptly pulled out, without explanation. The school superintendant claimed to be, "disappointed," at the development. However, some parents are not mollified, and vow to permanently keep such people-tracking technologies out of their schools."
Hey, a similar scheme seemed to work well at Hogwart's.
Mischief managed.

...Incom Corp. has announced that it is getting out of the RFID market entirely and will instead start producing starfighters.

Untill they start wondering why the two of you spend so long in the bathroom togehter alone.
Or why you enterd the bathroom of the opposite gender than you are.
When they try to pull this next time, remember this handy formula:
RFID badge + 3 seconds in a microwave = piece of dead plastic.
Is the principle's name Ed Rooney? Cause I hear he IS a pedophile!
Slip your badge into the teacher's pocket, then. That'll raise a few eyebrows.
