Radio frequency ID chips

[Anonymouse]

This thread is going decidedly off topic. Are we done with ID chips?

Please...

We don't need another one of F1mans racial diatribes.

Wouldn't look to good to visitors...

If person or persons unknown are tracking you without your consent, you can stop them from tracking you, can't you? What they are doing is stalking, right?
If so to both, then what the heck- get a small scrambler to block the signal, right? That should be legal. Except that can also affect other transmitters and cell phones.

Would wrapping the RFID tracker thing in foil disable it?

No, aluminum foil doesn't block RFID. There are wallet and such with materials that do block it however.

Let me rephrase. Conductive material can block the radio frequencies but not well unless it is meshed. You would need to wrap it in a lot of foil.

Aluminum mesh would work very well though.

The wallets and such utilize various materials that act as a sort of Faraday cage.

A Faraday cage does not have to be a mesh.

I had to deal with a RF blocked room before and aluminum foil worked rather well.

That's a lot of foil though. Lolol

Yeah, I suppose those things can work. Provided you know where the tracker is at. Otherwise I suggest using a scrambler. Except, are those legal?

Back to OC related stuff. RFID of handguns?

"Plastic pistol grips.....hmmm.....very interesting.

OC, my query stands- "Yeah, I suppose those things can work. Provided you know where the tracker is at. Otherwise I suggest using a scrambler. Except, are those legal?"
If you want to wrap your pistol in foil, don't let me stop you, but if anything performance will suffer. On the other hand, unless you have "something" to block the signal outright....
Dare I mention spark gap generators? And those are illegal.

Does it improve law enforcement to know where every gun is? If anything I think it is only a simpler method of gun control.

Spark gap transmitters are the oldest type of radio transmitter made by man. They were first used around 1888 and remained legal until the 1920s when their use became greatly restricted. World War II delayed their complete ban outside of emergency communications for a few years. Now the only way to use them legally is inside a faraday cage. They operate as jammers for the same reason they were banned, they take up a lot of the radio spectrum.

But.......Street and parking lot lighting use them. There are numerous other applications and can be purchased retail including online.
