[Web4lib] RFID in the office

[Cary Gordon]

Personally, I am just waiting for a GPS transponder small enough to  
put on my glasses and keys <g>.

The fundamental issue with what you propose is that RFID tags don't do  
anything unless they are passed by a reader. While it might be  
possible to build an office-size reader, the radiation would poach you  
and your coworkers by lunch.
