Mark of the Beast Watch: Hitachi's 'Weaponized' RFID Powder
Liz McIntyre writes on the Spychips RFID Blog:
The picture on the left shows Hitachi's infamous mu chip, once heralded as the world's smallest RFID tag. Back in 2003, it was touted as the perfect size for embedding into currency, slipping into bullets, and even tagging humans. The siren song of this dot-sized tracker even lured the Malaysian government into buying rights to it.More here.
One can only wonder how Hitachi's new "weaponized" RFID powder will be used and abused. It is 64 times smaller than the mu chip, measures in at just .05 X.05 mm, but can still hold a unique 38-digit number. Specks of this RFID powder are pictured next to a human hair in the picture on the right.
