Glowstick Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Who puts his money into a microwave anyway? And about the RFID tags, who gives a damn. If a bank teller gives you the bills, he doesn't but them thru a scanner that associates the RFIDs to your account number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PseudoRandomDragon Posted March 13, 2004 Author Share Posted March 13, 2004 The money they destroyed was replaced by the bank. If a bank teller gives you the bills, he doesn't but them thru a scanner that associates the RFIDs to your account number. ...but he could.

kennyout Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 (edited) oh god, another thing to worry about of our rights... and this could be used badlly....anyone remember Minority Report when he walks through that terminal and it scans his eyes to tell him about products?... imagine that changed for when you walk with cash....imagine if that cash was tagged electronically when you get it at the bank, and it has your info in it....imagine if that scanner was changed to scan your cash as you walked by.... "Mr. Piffenin, you have to get Deoderant?...20 bucks!!! you can buy it right now for that 20 bill in your pocket!!!"---right as you walk by...and it shows your picture...so people can see you need deoderant and have 20 bucks to get jumped for.... and i agree with the article that it will be used to track us....im scared... BTW how long do i put them in the Microwave for? :huh: Edited March 13, 2004 by kennyout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glowstick Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 ...but he could. So? There are serial numbers on your bills, you could do the same with visual scanners. To track you, scanners are needed one way or another. In tinfoil hat theory, if they want to track you, they could do it either way. And by the way, if you're paying per credit card, you're leaving better detail records than you could get by tracking RFID bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PseudoRandomDragon Posted March 13, 2004 Author Share Posted March 13, 2004 Credit Cards are worse, which is why I don't use them. Privacy concerns wasn't the only reason why I cut 'em up, but definately a major issue with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osiris Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 I dont get how they can track you, I mean there are hundred of thousands of $20 in the nation. This doesnt make any freaking sense, explain to me 1. How they are going to track you from this 2. I just dont seem any use to this stuff on money And additionally yes the 2nd link was quite fruitless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PseudoRandomDragon Posted March 14, 2004 Author Share Posted March 14, 2004 Well, obviously, they can tell how much money you have. They can also tell how you spent it using the detectable unique IDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 but how do they know how much money I would have theres thousands upon thousands of $20 bills over the country probably millions, how on earth are they suppose to track a single individual. And how does thaty indicate to them how much money I have I could have 1 $20 bill and the rest in $50's so trhey are to assume I have a lonesome $20 when in fact im walking around with $1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PseudoRandomDragon Posted March 14, 2004 Author Share Posted March 14, 2004 I think it is $20 bills and up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Crosby Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 (edited) Google currently tracks 4,285,199,774 web pages. The technology to track billions of unique bills is available. Why should you be afraid of losing your privacy rights? I'll quote from another post I made. The government can know everything about you, and they can also detain you for an indefinite amount of time without a warrant. The problem is political manipulation. Bush has already called everyone who doesn't support his policies a terrorist. The problem is if government has that kind of power, it won't be that long before they start jailing people who disagree with them. I have actually heard of a few cases of this happening already. EDIT: And in response to Osiris' questions1. How they are going to track you from this I was on the other side at first but then I realized soemthing. Even if they record the RFID info into some machine and send it to a central server, there is still no way to tell who the bill belongs to. Sure stores can record every bill that goes through them, but they can't record who it goes TO. The RFID could not record any personal information about you unless you willingly gave it up. You would have to tell the store owner "yes sir, put the RFID under the name of..." Edited March 19, 2004 by Ian Crosby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kongit Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 They can tell its there, and if each bill has their own seperate tag...identity do to say....a scanner could tell what the bills are and how many you have in your backpocket. It is time for a little fun with my microwave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is time for a little fun with my microwave. I don't really care if a store knows how much money I have on me at any given time. Why does that even matter? They only know how much money is in your wallet, not your bank account.They can also tell how you spent it using the detectable unique IDs. They don't know how you spent it. The RFID couldn't record that you owned a bill unless you willingly did it yourself. Edited March 19, 2004 by Ian Crosby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mAcOdIn Veteran Posted March 19, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 19, 2004 (edited) They don't know anything. What threats is there if there's a rfid tag in your cash? When you buy things in cash do you have to give your name or social security number? I don't remember giving up any of my information just today when I bought some gas, a pack of smokes and a Dr. Pepper. Sure they could track the money itself and where it came from, but they're not going to know who got it as change or who bought what with it. Crazy paranoid people lol.

p0welly Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 This was discussed on off the hook the other week, and they evern tried it out, the $20 got warm but didnt burn, with a large enough quantity the metal strip in the bills may have got hot enought to burn. Its more likely that in a large quantity the total mass of the metal strips could set off metal detectors in air ports that kind of thing. The thing is if your carrying that much cash your bound to cause suspicien, here in the uk and finacial transaction over 10k has to be reported to the inland revenue anyway!

You would have to tell the store owner "yes sir, put the RFID under the name of..." its going to start being like signing up for stuff on the net. put it undeer the name asdf qwerty. edit: ^ nice sig. did it appeear that way or is it photoshopped?
