Tech Manufacturer Uses Nazi Symbols On RFID Tags

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is becoming increasingly popular these days as an effective and relatively inexpensive means of loss prevention amd inventory management for both retailers and the U.S. military. But a closer look at one RFID manufacturer's tags reveals a suspicious resemblance to the Nazi swastika and Iron Cross. Enter, the 'Matrics'...

Hmmmmmm, all I can say is Sieg Heil? It looks a little weird, but I doubt that its a secret plot.

Curious. I haven't seen tags like these anywhere, on the stuff I work with.

Who's the manufacturer, BTW?

The Iron Cross is a Maltese Cross.

These are the closest I found to any so-called "nazi" imagery. I think you need to loosen your collar and stop nipping at the rat cheese.

That's a misleading headline. 'Uses Nazi Symbols', not 'Resembles Nazi Symbols'. Two different orders of magnitude.

I guess we all better stop using the letters "S" and "Z" because they look wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too much like the SS wore on their uniforms.


NOT!

Shootm I thought the ACLU was goona complain cause the chips look like the very non-controversial yet very traditional Jerusalem Cross, used for centuries by pious Christians as a symbol of Jesus Christ.

I hate to enlighten the media, but the design has to do with the laws of physics not any ideology

Indeed, these things probably put out some series frequencies...

I would definately double layer against this new technology.

Yep. Resemblance? Yes. This may be some EE's commentary on the whole thing, who knows? I doubt it is a sign of a greater plot.
