      <title>RFID-Zapper</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Afraid the government is trying to track you?  Want to disable your old credit cards &lt;a href="http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/05/poll-should-i-use-my-new-blink-card/"&gt;wireless signal&lt;/a&gt;?  Need to get that new backpack out of &lt;a href="http://www.macys.com"&gt;Macy&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; without getting caught?  You need to &lt;a href="http://events.ccc.de/congress/2005/wiki/RFID-Zapper" title="EN"&gt;disable those RFID tags&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There are several ways to deactivate RFID-Tags. One that might be offered by the industries are RFID-deactivators, which will send the RFID-Tag to sleep. A problem with this method is, that it is not permanent&amp;#8230;  The &lt;a href="http://events.ccc.de/congress/2005/wiki/RFID-Zapper" title="EN"&gt;RFID-Zapper&lt;/a&gt; solves this dilemma&amp;#8230; It generates a strong electromagnetic field with a coil, which should be placed as near to the target RFID-Tag as possible. The RFID-Tag then will receive a strong shock of energy comparable with an EMP and some part of it will blow, thus deactivating the chip forever.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If this zapper was bigger, then I could mess up Wal*mart&amp;#8217;s inventory for months.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
