the same company that does the RFID chips is in charge of verifying websites, so… any bank transactions you do, RFID secured… the BMV website, fishing website, college website, all RFID secured. If our medical records get put online? They’ll be RFID secured. It’s disgusting.
Awesome post, keep up the good work, and thanks for the link.
