RFID Tags in New US Notes Explode When You Try to Microwave Them

http://www.prisonplanet.com/022904rfidtagsexplode.html


Want to share an event with you, that we experienced this evening.. Dave had over $1000 dollars in his back pocket (in his wallet). New twenties were the lion share of the bills in his wallet. We walked into a truck stop/travel plaza and they have those new electronic monitors that are supposed to say if you are stealing something. But through every monitor, Dave set it off. He did not have anything to purchase in his hands or pockets. After numerous times of setting off these monitors, a person approached Dave with a 'wand' to swipe why he was setting off the monitors.

Believe it or not, it was his 'wallet'. That is according to the minimum wage employees working at the truck stop! We then walked across the street to a store and purchased aluminum foil. We then wrapped our cash in foil and went thru the same monitors. No monitor went off.

We could have left it at that, but we have also paid attention to the European Union and the 'rfid' tracking devices placed in their money, and the blatant bragging of Walmart and many corporations of using 'rfid' electronics on every marketable item by the year 2005.

Dave and I have brainstormed the fact that most items can be 'microwaved' to fry the 'rfid' chip, thus elimination of tracking by our government.

So we chose to 'microwave' our cash, over $1000 in twenties in a stack, not spread out on a carasoul. Do you know what exploded on American money?? The right eye of Andrew Jackson on the new twenty, every bill was uniform in it's burning... Isnt that interesting?

Now we have to take all of our bills to the bank and have them replaced, cause they are now 'burnt'.

We will now be wrapping all of our larger bills in foil on a regular basis.

What we resent is the fact that the government or a corporation can track our 'cash'. Credit purchases and check purchases have been tracked for years, but cash was not traceble until now...

They should have wrapped the aluminum foil around their heads.

I thought this thread was going to be about something different.

I figured I would sent it to a buddy of mine...Dave.  We referred to him as Dave "The Wad"...much like Johnny "The Wad" Homes.

He got the nickname after his girlfriend shouted "My God, there is so MUCH.  Where does it all come from?" from the bathroom where the two of them were enjoying a bath together.
Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain that is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain

microwaving the cash sets off allarms in the central station and the trackers are sent out to beat yu senseless.  er.... more senseless... then they simply repalce all your microwaved cash with new cash that is identical... surprised you didn't know that.

 we could really mess with em if you want... simply send me all your unmicrowaved cash and then they will waste their time tracking me instead of you.

Yep.... the cash can already be tracked by it's serial numbers... however, it doesn't track who's holding the money...even with an RFID... it's not the same as a credit card.

I don't have to, many already have (including my co-worker yesterday :rofl  )

On the same subject, money has always been traceable. Plus, RFID is just starting to roll out into the marketplace, I'm sure the unnamed truckstop was an early adopter. :rolleyes:

When I was little and Mommy had a microwave the size of an oven, she told me not to put any metal in it because it would catch fire and blow up.

Of course, I tried it.

Mommy was right.  Very angry too.

If the Black Helicopters were coming... you'd never know...

Duh! You can't see them! They're black!

lead foil is better than tin foil... it keeps the gamma rays out.

Went to an RFID seminar last month

There is a store in New Yark.. womens clothing (Prada I think). They give a special gold card to their high roller customers. When you walk into the store with this card, a message is sent to the PDA each salesperson carries. They immediately know your name, and your tastes in clothes.

But that isn't all. The changing rooms are clear glass. They turn opaque when the rfid chip in the clothing you select is carried into the booth. THEN a movie is shown on the wall of the booth of a model wearing the clothing you have chosen.

Passive RFID chips (like in cards or money) only have a range of 10-20 feet.
