It is really cool in the lab with the breadboard and such though. I mean, it is neat that someone put the time in making it happen but it has no real world threat. It is a REALLY expensive NFC tags from what I'm reading. Heck, I got a bag of NFC tags for like $14! (currently only $11.04 for 40!)
Yeah, and that’s just a few days after they came out. My brother in law has aces of these types of things, since he loses stuff all the time, so I can see the need for these.
