Without knowing anything about whatever fabulous classified
technology is out there, generally the laws of physics demand that
passive RFID signals fall of as the 4th power of the distance from
transmitter to receiver.

Well, there was this signing statement when those laws of physics were
passed....

Oops, wrong rant.
