I actually wasn't referring to the plastic strip currently
embedded in money, I was referring to the new RFI
tags they said on a show about money (how its made,
counterfeiting prevention, etc) on the Discovery channel
just the other night when they said they hope to have it
in place by the start of the next decade and that they'd
be able to be scanned from up to about 3 foot away.

Supposed to help stop not only counterfeiting but also
money laundering.

Honestly, guys, this sounds like the Y2K, "New World Order",
Illuminati, "Shadow Government" crap we first started hearing 20 years
ago.

Yes, there is a plastic strip in paper money to make it harder to
counterfeit. It is not likely an RFI tag, because that would make the
money too expensive to make, and RFI tags are too large to hide in a
piece of paper. Yes, there are so-called "smart cards" that have a
microchip in them, which is plainly visible. In any case, RFI tags and
smart cards have to be within a few inches of sensors to read them.
There aren't going to be police helicopters that can scan vehicles to
count the money.

Yes, police check ID, registration and insurance whenever they make a
traffic stop, but they still can't just stop anyone and everyone.

Yes, civil rights in this country have been under constant erosive
attack since before the ink was dry on the constitution. This is why
it is good to be vigilant. But this is taking things to the level of
paranoia.
