   	Or more modern burglars from just setting up a scanner outside your   
   house, catching your RFID ping, and playing it back to your system so   
   they can just walk in?   
      
   	I don't trust RFID systems, I work too closely with them in parts of   
   our business and I know how vulnerable they can be... and how they can   
   fail outside of that, too.   
      
   	(and I REALLY hate the modern trend for "no keys for your car". I LIKE   
   a physical key system, thanks.)
