853674 2010-01-30 08:55:00 Just reading some docs on RFID, found an RFID deadbolt system on hackaday. It seems incredibly simple. :banana

Who'd actually do this, if they had the time and resources?

Reference;
Hackaday - RFID Dorm Room Door (hackaday.com)

853675 2010-01-30 08:58:00 I have heard of someone who read the micro-chip in his cat and set an RFID reader to give the cat exclusive access through the cat flap. Only cat with a swipe card. :D

Sort of hacking the wetware?

Having to find them to get into the house now seems a hassle.
