U.S. Military To Use RFID To Track Ordnance

Missle Launch

This strikes me as a troubling story.

From RFID News:

Axcess International has announced its Micro-Wireless RFID system will be used by the U.S. military to enable automatic inventory accounting and perimeter security for ordnance assets. Using the Axcess’ Dot tag design, the system uses ultra-small, low cost RFID transmitters assigned to each asset, enabling automatic tracking and automatic security monitoring.

Maybe I’m being paranoid but, I’ve seen enough presentations by Adam Laurie to have earned my paranoia.

Then I read this passage,

Any unauthorized movement of an armament outside the storage area automatically triggers an alert, but the handling of armaments can be linked to authorized service personnel via an RFID personnel badge

But, what of a cloned RFID tag? And what of the DHS report that slammed RFID?
