[Noisebridge-discuss] seeking donation

That is an interesting link, but I think we need 900MHz RFID tags instead 
of 13.56MHz ones.

If we use 900 MHz (UHF) rfid equipment, the tags will be very small and 
easily hidden on stuff we want to keep from getting stolen.

these things look like the DIY style hardware for UHF rfid:

two for $39 total.  auction ends in 20 hours!

somebody please get them!

Might save money in exchange for time. But it would also be a fun project.
