Product Description
Radio frequency identification now belongs to the masses, and it lets you control all sorts of things. Like access to your front door. Or valuables in an RFID-enabled safe. You can corral your stuff within an RFID-monitored perimeter, or build a shelf that tells you when you're out of hot sauce. This book shows you how, with step-by-step instructions, illustrations, photos, and a list of the tools and tech- nology you need for every project. It even supplies the lowdown on read/write tags and--for the truly extreme--implantable chips.

Great Read For Geeks, 2008-01-04
If you're a hacker at heart then this book's for you. Written well with plenty of pictures, you can do any of the projects yourself. I've used the RFID Safe to build my own small handgun safe which opens at the presence of an RFID token.

For people with plenty of free time..., 2006-06-26
This book as the name suggests explores the concepts of RFID through projects. This book is excellent for people who have free time and would like to get some hands on with RFID. However, all the projects require the kit which is another $90. If you do not have time for all this, like me then this book is probably a waste of time.
