Re: RFID Laptop / System Inventoy

[aaaa () bbbb com]

I haven't used it myself but I don't see why not

I can see advantages.  Use a longer range tag/scanner and you can track them coming and going out of the building.  Use 
a writable (write the serial number and description on the tag), short range one and you could perform physical 
inventory just by walking through the office, possibly put the tag inside the computer case so it's not visible making 
the bad guy less likely or at least slower to peal the tag off, lose your laptop in the mall or airport and just show 
up with a scanner to help find it ...
