RFID for kids

Here’s a throwback for ya - remember the days of building forts from your couch cushions as a child? Countless hours were spent devising a plan to construct the best possible protected hideout. These days, things are getting a little more complicated…

From Gizmodo, here's a fun article which describes the use of RFID in Wild Planet's 3-piece Intruder Trap System for kids.

The first one is touch sensitive...which means you can put it on top of your iPod and it will flash a red light and start whistling if anyone tried to nab it. The second sensor is a motion detector. But this alarm is only armed after the touch sensor has been triggered. So now the burglar is running but they head smack into alarm number three, which is a motion sensor loaded with two darts—thwap! Hahaha. Busted.
