I would imagine these RFIDS would be easy to destry, perhaps by putting them in a microwave oven. What would scare me is if they were used in physical cash as a way of determining counterfeit. In that stituation, if the rfid was disabled or destroyed then so is your money.

predicting is fun. Predicting is a bet that doesn't cost any money. What you should ask yourself is why does it make you upset when other people predict ?

Every generation needs a general patton to insure its survival even though he may not be a nice guy, and liberals will hate him. Remember, patton was hated by many even though he helped win WWII and was one of the best generals of the 20th century. Also recall that Jimmy Carter was a nice guy...
