Are you like me? Are you willing to fight the illuminati by beating them at their own game? Of course you are! Well, first thing you need to do is start tracking people! Thankfully, the Retailler sect of the Pentaveret had the brilliant idea of Tagging customers and releasing them in the wild.

I remember doing this in first year Psychology. The prof distributed tags to all members of the class so he may observe us in our natural habitat or something like that. He told us it was a great way to meet girls. I shit you not. That was a great class.

At any rate, in my daily /. browsing, I discovered this article and this link in discussion about being able to hack your RFID tags.

Well, it'll be interesting to see what happens here. If the retaillers start taking people like this to court, then we get to see if the government is really here to serve our needs or not. Or if we even have a semblance of capitalism left in American culture. I don't see this becoming a big problem in Canada... heck, we've already told the RIAA to fuck off back in March... Besides, stuff like this tends to be started in the States, because they're the ones who seem to get their panties in a knot anytime something of a Religious Matter happens (like, say, a nipple on television... OMG HOW HORRID! A HUMAN BODY! DISGUSTING!). And I'm certain if something like this _were_ to get to litigation that PJ and crew will have a few things to say and do about it.

This internet stuff is interesting. At any rate. I highly encourage all those reading this to start learning about RFID hacking and keep trying stuff... Only way we can fight the things that we dislike is to be better than them.

edit: I like the fact that this is runnable on an iPaq. Given that I most recently learnt of a cell phone I'd actually want and the fact that it's an iPaq, this makes me relatively happy. Wanna scan/hack RFID tags from inside the store? Ooooo, the possibilities.
