A Passive RFID Blocker for the Passionately Paranoid

Thank you Gizmodo for this hearty laugh this balmy Saturday in New England, made the more so by this story. Get this:

Here is a renegade method to making a device that can destroy passive RFID tags permanently. Best of all, it is cheap as hell. It mostly consists of parts from a disposable film camera. The premise behind this creation is for protection. According to the site, RFID is the next big thing that will be able to track every step you make, so nuke all of those RFIDs and know that your paranoia is potentially safe for one more day.

This picture, by the way, comes from a recent Loftware product development and marketing team meeting in York, Maine!
