[Noisebridge-discuss] Calling for RFID help for the ACLU!

[Jacob Appelbaum]

The ACLU is looking for some RFID hackers - it appears that they're
using RTLS active tags (AES, blah blah)...

Are you interested? Let me or Nicky know...

Hi Jake- if you could forward this to the Noisebridge listserve, that
would be great. Thank you!

On Tuesday, preschoolers in Richmond, California showed up for school
and were handed jerseys embedded with Radio Frequency Identification
(RFID) tags.

We don't know the type of chip yet or if there are any privacy or
security safeguards in place.

Any volunteers with readers/cloners who are willing to take a field ASAP
(hopefully today or tomorrow) to Richmond, California (North of
Berkeley) and help us do some security research to determine how
vulnerable these little children are and hopefully help make them safer?
