[Gllug] ist that right that the Oyster card got RFID on it?

[Nix]

On 15 Jan 2007, Juergen Schinker told this:
> RFID on every Produkt like food etc.

Gods. Terrorists could scan your house remotely and determine that you
buy *food*.

How useful that would be to them.

(OK, so they could potentially determine what food you bought, and
when you're not buying anything, and *that* really is a security hole.
Alas they can do it anyway by looking to see if your bin is full the
day before bin day.)

> ok i'm paranoid but i need a scanner

You can easily kill RFID chips --- and other electronics --- by sticking
a potentially RFIDded device in the microwave for a few seconds (and
turning it on, of course!)
