RFID Tag: A tiny chip connected to an antenna

This article discusses the utilization of Hitachi's 0.3mm RFID chips at the Extra "Future Store" in Rheinberg, Germany. The tiny chips are integrated into product packaging, from clothing to passports, enhancing tracking and security. The evolving technology, such as Inkode's chipless tags and Alien/RAFSEC variants, raises concerns about privacy invasion and omnipresent readers. The text emphasizes the progression towards printable antennas and the miniaturization of RFID tags, including potential chip integration in banknotes. The controversial Verichip implant and the use of RFID in loyalty cards underscore the ongoing debate on surveillance and personal identification. Recent protests in Dallas against retail loyalty card scanning highlight public concerns over privacy infringement.

  2. Unique ID number for all physical objects EPC: Electronic Product Code Identifies Manufacturer and Item, and provides Unique ID

  3. Tiny chips could be very hard to spot

  4. Especially when “printed” onto product packaging "The vision is to move from the etched, solid metal antennas to the printed antennas." "Since radio waves travel through most packaging materials, packagers...could print the antenna…inside of the box. They could laminate it inside the package, or print it on the outsideand print over it." – Dan Lawrence, Flint Ink
