Adam Savage answers a question about RFID Censorship after his talk on his Fascination with the Dodo Bird at the Last H.O.P.E. Hacker Conference (www.HOPE.net) which took place on July, 18-20 2008 at the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City. --- Mythbusters Host Retracts RFID Censorship - Mythbusters host Adam Savage is retracting comments he made at a hackers conference where he said an episode exposing security flaws in credit card RFID technology was squelched by credit card company lawyers. In a new statement Adam says, " If I went into the detail of exactly why this story didn't get filmed, it's so bizarre and convoluted that no one would believe me, but suffice to say...the decision not to continue on with the RFID story was made by our production company, Beyond Productions, and had nothing to do with Discovery, or their ad sales department." --- Steven Levy gave the keynote address. Kevin Mitnick, Steve Rambam, Jello Biafra, and Adam Savage of MythBusters were also featured speakers at The Last H.O.P.E. Hackers Conference. The name referred to the expectation that this would have been the final H.O.P.E. conference due to the scheduled demolition of its venue, the Hotel Pennsylvania. www.TheNextHOPE.org is scheduled for Summer 2010.

I saw a clip of this in some NWO RFID video, and I passed it off as just cut & paste quote mining. Looks like I was right. Not only does the full clip brilliantly show the effect of advertiser bias (television is entertainment, not education) - but it dispels the RFID fears that video was trying to promote by making the very point I did in response to that.
For tracking purposes, it'd only be a redundant reinforcement. It's easily to circumvent, and the advertisers know that.
But they also have a product line which relies on confidence in the security of the system. Who wants to buy an identity theft prevention system which is already easily circumvented?
You're not being tagged like cattle, you're being sold a poorly implemented piece of shit that doesn't live up to the guarantees it inspires. But since they pay the bills for MythBusters... yeah
I hope these RFID's get hacked to all hell, and im sorry for those whome get hacked. ill gladly be one of them as long as people will realize how horrible these things are!
