RFID Puts Us All at Risk

And what's happened in the last year? Researchers have been able to crack and clone a variety of RFID tags to gain access to buildings or get free rides on public transportation, and when the popular TV show "Mythbusters" planned an episode on the ease of cracking RFID-enabled credit cards, the credit card companies threw a phalanx of lawyers at the show before they could show how insecure these types of credit cards are.

In addition, just recently, security researcher Chris Paget drove through San Francisco with a small, $250 wireless device attached to his car and in 20 minutes was able to capture all data from two RFID-enabled passport cards.

So researchers have shown RFID-tagged credit cards and devices can be easily read and cloned from a distance, with small and easily hidden devices that are inexpensive and well within the skill sets of your average hacker.

Ruin Your Health With the Obama Stimulus Plan: Betsy McCaughey

"The stimulus bill does that, and calls it the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research (190-192). The goal, Daschle’s book explained, is to slow the development and use of new medications and technologies because they are driving up costs. He praises Europeans for being more willing to accept “hopeless diagnoses” and “forgo experimental treatments,” and he chastises Americans for expecting too much from the health-care system."

I spoke with a dear friend of mine last night, as President Obama's press conference was beginning. She shared with me her concerns over the condition of her brother. He lives in Hungry and was just recently diagnosed with lung cancer. Doctors found many spots on both lungs. Under their socialist medicine, he is presently scheduled and waiting a month for his CT scan of his lungs.

Vatican II - 50th Anniversary

On the eve of the 50th anniversary of Vatican II (has anyone noticed this? & near the Feast of St. Paul's Conversion):

Pope lifts excommunications of 4 bishops

Q&A: Why has the pope welcomed back traditionalists?

Liberal archbishop drove Catholic reform

He helped lead a largely successful effort to push the American church to welcome minorities, widen the role of women, increase participation by the laity and relax some rules, such as the automatic excommunication of divorced people.

Although Jadot strongly adhered to most of the church's teachings, including its opposition to abortion, his willingness to leave some questions to individual consciences rankled some church leaders.

Priest's ministry of reconciliation - "Rev. Bernard de Margerie was a young priest, newly ordained, when Pope John XXIII put out a call for Vatican II in 1959."

Rev. Bernard de Margerie -"I coined the phrase 'ecumenical formation' or education of our Catholic people."
