Check this out -- I'm not sure whether I think it is
ultra-cool, or it terrifies me... or both. :-)

The picture on the left shows Hitachi's infamous mu chip, once heralded as
the world's smallest RFID tag. Back in 2003, it was touted as the perfect
size for embedding into currency, slipping into bullets, and even tagging
humans. The siren song of this dot-sized tracker even lured the Malaysian
government into buying rights to it.

One can only wonder how Hitachi's new "weaponized" RFID powder will be used
and abused. It is 64 times smaller than the mu chip, measures in at just
.05 X.05 mm, but can still hold a unique 38-digit number. Specks of this
RFID powder are pictured next to a human hair in the picture on the right.
