Bugged Canadian Coins?
tundra_man writes "CBC has an article about RFID type devices in Canadian coins found on US Contractors. From the article: 'Canadian coins containing tiny transmitters have mysteriously turned up in the pockets of at least three American contractors who visited Canada, says a branch of the U.S. Department of Defense.' The report did not indicate what kinds of coins were involved."
Is this some odd Canadian spelling of Defense? At first I just thought it was a type-o or a missed spell check, but ever place in the article that the word is used, it is spelled with a 'c'.

US Currency has a primitive type of RFID in it already responsive to particular microwave bursts, Its the SPECIFIC ANGLES on the metallic letters on the mylar strip that reflect waves back out through the parcel the money is hidden in. The mylar strip that says "twenty" on it woven into the paper. Its to detect currency on citizens walking through security at airports and in luggage. You never read about it anywhere, but in this post (I am a security snitch). But its true. 60 minutes did expose on how 3rd parties are paid to snitch at airports to the FBI for anyone carrying cash. Ed Bradley on 60 minutes years ago tried carrying 5 thousand and was quickly grabbed after using a few hundred dolalrs to buy a ticket. Typically the cash is confiscated. "USA vs 5,120 Dollars" and you have no rights. No RFID was involved on the 60 minutes episode though. Just an airport employee woman watching his wallet. Car Tire RFID in tires enterring canada is more shocking and evil.

TOP SECRET FACT:Most modern cars have tracking transponders ALREADY!
Spy transmission chips embedded in tires that can be read REMOTELY while driving.
Yup. My brother works on them (since 2001).
The us gov T.R.E.A.D. act (which passed) made it illegal to sell new passenger cars lacking untamperable RFID in the tires allowing efficient scanning of moving cars.
Your tires have a passive coil with 64 to 128 bit serial number emitter in them! (AIAG B-11 ADC v3.0) . A particular frequency energizes it enough so that a receiver can read its little ROM. A ROM which in essence is your GUID for your TIRE. Multiple tires do not confuse the readers. Its almost identical to all "FastPass" "SpeedPass" technologies you see on gasoline keychain dongles and commuter windshield sticker-chips. The US gov has secretly started using these chips to track people.
Its kind of like FBI "Taggants" in fertilizer and "Taggants" in Gasoline and Bullets, and Blackpowder. But these car tire transponder Ids are meant to actively track and trace movement of your car.

I am not making this up. Melt down a high end Firestone, or Bridgestone tire and go through the bits near the rim (sometimes at base of tread) and you will locate the transmitter (similar to 'grain of rice' pet ids and Mobile SpeedPass, but not as high tech as the tollbooth based units). Sokymat LOGI 160, and Sokymat LOGI 120 transponder buttons are just SOME of the transponders found in modern high end car tires. The AIAG B-11 Tire tracking standard is now implemented for all 3rd party transponder manufactures [covered below].
It is for QA and to prevent fraud and "car theft", but the US Customs service uses it in Canada to detect people who swap license plates on cars when doing a transport of contraband on a mule vehicle that normally has not logged enough hours across the border. The customs service and FBI do not yet talk about this, and are starting using it soon.
A secret initiative exists to track all funnel-points on interstates and US borders for car tire ID transponders (RFID chips embedded in the tire).
The governement can then either look back in databases to see wheere and when your car drove, and OCR liscense plates at tool or Customs can
build the database up even better without the feds needing to visit your home to get your RFID GUIDs.
More sinister, it is near impossible to buy tires without the vendor in the USA filliung out federal paperwork of what VIN the recipient car is!

I'm gonna bet that it is the NSA or CIA. They would have far more interest in tracking people coming into the US than anyone would have tracking people leaving Canada. And especially if they were coming into the US from Canada...'cause that's how all the terrorists get in.
It's a simple matter of complex programming.
