New Passports Leak Data, Trigger Explosives
Wire Services | Submitted by: guanomite
"In 2006, a mobile security company, Flexilis, conducted an experiment in which the transponder of a partially opened e-passport triggered an explosive planted in a trashcan when a dummy carrying the chipped passport approached the bin. A video of the experiment was shown that year at a security conference."

This sounds like bullshit to me. A transponder doesn't radiate much power, and it's far less than the signal sent to trigger it which is far more likely to trigger the explosive. The moral of this is... don't look for transponders and you won't blow up. Oops, that's right. FUCK FUCK FUCK. (I forgot this is DailyRotten...)

Now the big threat is cyber-attack from North Korea or China. From what I've seen, a few miscreants on /b/ could do that without trying too hard. Every increase in security has always been seen as a challenge by mischief-makers.

So, I got another couple of years left before my current passport expires and I DO NOT WANT one of these rfid chipped ones. Trouble is, I have no room left for stamps. How do I go about getting an official insert?

But 'Loma, you said it was too easy... OK... any excuse for a good gif. Seriously, though, do I apply somewhere or go to a post office? I just don't want to leave my passport anywhere long enough for it to get chipped.

Nooooh...Duhhhh..been doing electronics all my life and this is old hat. I was told I was crazy if I knew this. That's why you do not admit to having a science degree I guess.

A transponder doesn't radiate much power, and it's far less than the signal sent to trigger it which is far more likely to trigger the explosive. --- I think they're talking about designing a proximity device triggered with a reader. e.g. set it up at a location frequented by tourists, American on holiday walks past (e.g. 3-4 metres) - BOOM.

"Implantable RFID chips designed for animal tagging are now being used in humans." "In 2004, the Mexican Attorney General's office implanted 18 of its staff members with the Verichip to control access to a secure data room." ^^^^ Not just for cats and dogs.

This is truly scary. We would all be potential "suicide bombers". So far my state has resisted the efforts of Uncle, to go for those licenses. What they are, is a license to kill.

Nothing says "Howdy, I'm here", better than an old CB radio with a linear amp, in an old blasting site with electric blasting caps.
