13.56MHz ... Look out 20 meters!

RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION (RFID) TAGS READY TO GO
A number of new consumer products from companies such as Gillette,
Procter  & Gamble, and Prada will come with embedded RFID (radio
frequency  identification) "tags" (actually, tiny computer chips), that
will contain  scannable information such as the product's serial number.
The goal is to dramatically improve inventory processes, and other big
companies poised to 
join the RFID movement are Johnson & Johnson, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Home
Depot  and Target. Within a year or two RFID tags will be included in
all kinds of products, including Michelin and Goodyear tires (to tell
where a tire was made). Privacy groups are expressing fears that thieves
will buy or make 
chip scanners that can crack security controls to scan shoppers' bags
and  know what they bought. (USA Today 28 Jan 2003)
