I've heard several people interviewed on C to C AM about this matter.
The answer isn't to protest, see http://www.spychips.com/ , IMHO,
there should be a way to expose these things to the right frequency
pulse and fry them. There should be a good market for these zappers
among the Black Helicopter crowd.
2.5 GHz seems to work okay

Whoops! Something bothered me after I read this article and I just went
back and checked it. There are two things wrong here.
(1) "Jackson's right eye burned in every case" ... but they stacked the
bills in a single pile (they said so). $1000 in $20 bills is 50 bills
-- that's a stack no thicker than a deck of cards. EVERY microwave oven
I have ever used had hot spots, and (almost) ANYTHING you put in a
microwave oven will get hot if there's nothing else in there to absorb
the microwaves. So, someplace, the stack was going to get hot. If one
of the oven's hot spots happened to be on Jackson's right eye, it would
have heated that spot on EVERY BILL in the relatively thin stack and
they all would have burned in that one place. So, by itself this proves
nothing about the money.
(2) Look at the bills in the photo. They are NOT new bills. They've got
series 2001 bills mixed in with the series 2004 or 2005 bills. (The
2001 bills have a "frame" around Jackson's picture, the 2004 bills
don't.) The bill was redesigned between those issues. I've looked over
European notes, with chips and other electronic features, and the
features are obvious; hold them up to the light and you can see them.
I've looked over old and new American 20's and if they're putting chips
in them they're hiding them very, very well. Do you believe they were
already doing that with the 2001 bills? Note that there's no embedded
antenna in any 20 I've looked at, and claims that it's all done with
conductive ink ring a little hollow if we're talking about bills dating
back to 2001 (which we are).
The two bills with holes in them displayed in the second picture are
both 2001 bills, not 2004.
Finally, at the top of the page it says they only "pop" or "explode" in
"certain microwaves". As I said already, ANYTHING will get hot or burn
in a microwave if you try hard enough; all this proves is that a
microwave oven containing only a stack of paper may be able to set the
paper on fire. As one particularly dumb example of the "anything gets
hot eventually" claim, I have exploded glass saltshakers in a microwave;
the salt and the glass got hot, to the point where the glass was glowing
orange. Furthermore, the glass shattered with a substantial "BANG!",
spraying shards of glass and salt all over the inside of the oven. If
I'd put a cup of water in the oven along with the saltshaker, the water
would have absorbed enough microwaves to keep the intensity down, the
saltshaker would have remained cool to the touch and I could have said,
"Glass saltshakers don't absorb microwaves or get hot in a microwave
oven" and most likely nobody would have challenged it... (Just for the
record, it was a case of fumble-fingers, not lunacy, that led me to do
that. It was a microwave/convection oven. The salt was caked, and I
thought a good roasting in the convection oven would dry it sufficiently
to cut down on the caking. So I programmed the oven to run in
convection mode at high heat for 15 minutes and went into the next room
with a book. It was after I heard the "BANG!" and looked at the
resulting mess that I realized I'd mis-programmed the oven, and had set
it to run full-blast microwaves into the poor saltshakers, rather than
just blowing warm air over them. Oh, and I did, indeed, remember to
leave the metal caps out of the oven -- there was nothing conductive
present.)
kinda damages your cash tho
