We felt it was important to comment on where the US appears to be heading
now. A war in Iraq will not resolve our problems. It can only result in
the deaths of many innocent civilians and US troops. If we are truly

generation is improved and a few bugs are fixed.
Background
The Invisible IRC Project (IIP) was originally created so that people
interested in facilitating privacy and free speech could work to these ends

Seems the trend is here. We can thank Benetton for providing us with
a playground for live tests of the capabilities and limits of the system.
We have several ways for countermeasures.
Passive countermeasures are shielding or tag destruction. We can locate
the transceiver, then enclose it in a

Don't know about those tags, but my laptop used to set off the library

Some laptops carry a RFID tag, as asset control or

I heard these ones have range up to 1.5 meters. And you need much less
power if you use a directional antenna (which can be part of some fixed
installation).
Easy to find the antenna then :-)
Wasn't aware about RF tags being magnetically coupled.

Regarding TEMPEST shielding - there is another, complementary approach

This is incorrect. I interviewed one RFID tag maker who said up to 15

sensitive receiver would allow longer ranges.
I stand corrected, the one by Matrics looks very nice indeed:

I guess it's just a matter of time before someone is charged with disabling

rule will be if you bought it you can disable it, but prior to that you're
not allowed to jam it.
