Story: New Euro law could make criminals of us all
Posted by: John Wilkinson (Monday 11 August 2003, 10:22 PM)
I read with great interest the article on how new Euro laws could make criminals of us all - Rupert Goodwins dated 05/08/03, especially the part regarding RFID tags and how - "The protection for these systems includes outright bans on the creation, selling and use of equipment that can interfere with their operation" - I assume that the RFID tags are Susceptible to microwave energy since they are sensitive electronic components, this could mean that if I purchased a pair of jeans that had RFID tags imbedded in them I could place them in a microwave oven and blast them with microwave energy to disable the tags, would this make microwave ovens illegal? Or how about hammers, I could in theory hit every part of the clothing in question to destroy the chips (and the clothing itself as well I suspect), would this make hammers illegal?
Where and when is all of this madness going to end? At current rates it will be impossible not to break a law every day of our lives.
