EXPLODING TWENTIES
Whenever currency is redesigned, the conspiracy theorists
come out of the woodwork to proclaim it's all a government
plot to do something terrible. Apparently one of the latest
ideas making the rounds is that the new U.S. currency has
embedded in it RFID (radio frequency identification) tags.A web site has a story titled "RFID Tags in New US Notes
Explode When You Try to Microwave Them.""Want to share an event with you, that we experienced this
evening.. Dave had over $1000 dollars in his back pocket
(in his wallet). New twenties were the lion share of the bills
in his wallet. We walked into a truck stop/travel plaza and
they have those new electronic monitors that are supposed
to say if you are stealing something. But through every monitor,
Dave set it off. He did not have anything to purchase in his
hands or pockets. After numerous times of setting off these
monitors, a person approached Dave with a 'wand' to swipe
why he was setting off the monitors.Believe it or not, it was his 'wallet'. ...
We could have left it at that, but we have also paid attention
to the European Union and the 'rfid' tracking devices placed
in their money, and the blatant bragging of Walmart and
many corporations of using 'rfid' electronics on every
marketable item by the year 2005.Dave and I have brainstormed the fact that most items can
be 'microwaved' to fry the 'rfid' chip, thus elimination of tracking
by our government.So we chose to 'microwave' our cash, over $1000 in twenties
in a stack, not spread out on a carousel. Do you know what
exploded on American money?? The right eye of Andrew
Jackson on the new twenty, every bill was uniform in it's burning
... Isnt that interesting?""We will now be wrapping all of our larger bills in foil on a
regular basis.What we resent is the fact that the government or a
corporation can track our 'cash'. Credit purchases and check
purchases have been tracked for years, but cash was not
traceble until now..."To read the full article, including pictures of the fried
notes, see: Full Article- 2004-03-07
