This would certainly not be liked by the proponents of RFID. Researchers in Amsterdam have gone ahead and created a device which would prevent RFID tags from being read and this was being done with the aim of protecting users from this technology which was posing a threat to their privacy.

Called the RFID Guardian, it is a PDA size handheld device which warns a person that when a RFID scanner is trying to read a chip by beeping. This device runs on a 550MHz XScale 32 bit processor with 64Mbytes of RAM. The next few months would be spent by the research team on debugging and preparing the device for commercial use.

Can I see smiles on the face of those people who treat RFID as a threat to their privacy? This would certainly give a boost to all those who believe that technology should not be developed to such an extent that it starts affecting their lives.
