Story: RFID keeps Virgin planes in the air

Chris, I think Gareth Lewis has been misquoted. One must assume Virgin is using passive chips, long range active tags surely wouldn't be compatible with the operating environment, and anyway cost too much. I suggest the 'gun' interrogates the aircraft on a per component basis to discover condition data written to the chip. I would guess read range at less than 5cm. Meanwhile we discussing the implantation of passive RFID in under seat life vests to track movements and inspections.
