Communicating with Coke cans...no strings required
There are spies everywhere. With RFID tags, and now Cokes with GPS devices and
built-in cellphones. Read on: NEW YORK - There's a new security threat at some of the nation's military bases - and it looks uncannily like a can of Coke. Specially rigged Coke cans, part of a summer promotion, contain cell phones and global positioning chips. That has officials at some installations worried the cans could be used to eavesdrop, and they are instituting protective measures. Coca-Cola Co. says such concerns are nothing but fizz. |

Similar (but larger) units are available around the world. I explored importing
them for sale to hospitals, cinemas, concert halls, etc., but was notified by FCC they're not legal. The FCC did admit in a phone call that a "passive" device (lead lined walls, screened rooms) might ALSO be illegal. Interesting thought. |
