As for blocking, you could use faraday cages (they make them for passports now since they have all their data on RFID) but a simple change to the method of delivery and even attempting to use a technology to block the data transfer would fall under the interference regulation guidelines the FCC controls - $10,000 fine per offense.
That little space there is meant to break up trains of thought. Figured i'd do that instead of posting twice about the fact that it was in the U.K. then a separate response to other U.S. related things that other people were talking about.godix wrote:BasharOfTheAges wrote:The U.S. constitution also doesn't work so well in the U.K. - if anyone actually bothered critically reading the article and all...

More like last month...
ADS says the device, which is the size of a wristwatch-face and may become even smaller, could be used to find kidnapped children, locate young kids who wander away from parents and track teens who participate in at-risk behavior.
The most controversial of these gadgets is an under-the-skin personal location device from Applied Digital Solutions. Using Global Positioning Satellite technology, a microchip surgically implanted in the body finds children and notifies parents of their whereabouts.
Cossolotto says VeriChip ($200 plus $9.95 a month), an under-the-skin, tamper-proof method of identifying one person against another.
Elizabeth Stupid...Most kids never did get many chances to actually to escape as much as she had.could help prevent kidnappings like the one of Utah teen Elizabeth Smart
