I myself wouldn't want an implant either, but I'm assuming syn/hak would probably go with cards not implants. In either case both are passive RF devices (with the ones that syn/hak would use; active == $$). As such, they themselves don't pose any RF exposure threat. The polling device (which sends out a very low power pulse, we're talking less than half a watt) is no more a threat than your cellphone, and seeing as you're by the RFID reader for far less time, its almost negligible.
And in so far as government surveillance with the limited range (at the most around a few tens of feet for the awesome ones (ie probably not the ones that syn/hak would be using)), there's already two much better ways to track you: your cellphone and the internet. I wouldn't be worried about these passive RFID cards if you use either of those. (unless you only use TOR, use only cash, and ditch your phone every week) Torrie, W8UPD put up a RFID system with a battery backup using both an arduino and then later a Raspberry Pi. If you'd like to replicate our system it'd be decently easy. The system is pretty stable now and requires little maintenance. https://wiki.w8upd.org/wiki/Door_Access KG4SGP - Jim On 11/08/2013 08:16 PM, Robert Rybicki wrote: > I wear a tin hat sometime too.
