I thought some of you ubers might find this interesting, if you havent heard about this already. ill give a little bit of background info on it first though...
In the european union they have been putting RFID radio tags in order to track money recently. they said they would do it before 2005 and now its done... over here in the US they also said the same thing, that it would be done by 2005. walmart would be doing the same thing with every peice of merchandize in their store.
well it seems the future comes sooner than later because RFID tags are already in the new american bills. if you want proof its not hard to find...
RFID tracking tags in large quantities (lets say you just got payed and you have a stack of new 20s in your wallet) will set off store alarms, but if you wrap the bills in foil, the alarms wont go off. i didnt try this because im poor and never have large ammounts of 20 dollar bills. But RFID tags also explode in the microwave...
i was skeptical when i heard but i tried it with a couple new 20s (3 to be exact). i put each one in the microwave one at a time and each time after a couple seconds the bill would start to burn. after looking, just as i heard, the right eye (your left) of andrew jackson is the center of the "explosion".
welcome to 1984 (plus 20 years) where the government is tracking us by what we have in our wallets.... i dont know about you but its a kinda scary state of affairs that the government can now not only trace you through credit reports but even by the most anonymous (seemingly) form of payment, which has always been cash...
my original source of information that led me to check up on this is on infowars.com
i dont have the full link but if you search around you should find it...
but with all that aside... first thing you can do to fight this is toss your cash in the microwave... just dont leave it in for too long...

take out some of that native american agression on that fucker jackson.
They're going to put RFID chips in 50 and 100$ bills as well. microwaving
will destroy the RFID's WITHOUT them exploding.
If you microwave your money you are a fucking idiot, the fact that you microwaved energy saver bulbs which contain MERCURY - poison, makes it abundantly clear how well your brain works.
Finally you took that picture from the site, which is linked to in another reply. that site is a bunch of anti-government conspiracy and propoganda.

You're right! Your money knows who you are and is reporting everything about you to BIG BROTHER!
Send all your cash to me for de-activation of the devices right away.
I'll return it to you "clean".

-2 Because I put a twenty in the microwave in excess of a minute, and not a goddamn thing happened.
Then, I started thinking...Why dont I try the toaster oven? So, I put the toaster oven on Broil, and put the twenty in there. A minute later, it was, well... toast!

whoever said that you're out 60 dollars is wrong, all the bank needs to accept the money is both of the ID numbers on the sides of the bill.
Surely, they will be taken to the federal disposal site where they burn all the old money, but at least you got back your currency.

I tried a similar experiment one time, where I took a propane torch, and lit my friend on fire. He had a tracking device in him too cus he went up like a fart. I think we should crack down on the government implanting our friends with tracking devices. I think perhaps it would be best to try and set a couple more friends on fire first though, so I don't point fingers without adequate proof.

I dont give a shit what kind of secret spy tracking devices the government is using. I'm a middle class, white male with nothing to hide. It sure as fuck isnt worth "exploding" 20 bucks trying to figure it out either.
Do you know what I can do for $20?
Buy a case of my best friend, beer.
Buy a phone card to call back to the states for 2 and a half hours.
Buy 25 tacos at Taco Bell.
Get a 20 minute lap dance at the titty bar.
Maybe in about 35 years when the average price of gas is 20 bucks a gallon I'll consider blowing one or two up.
As for the guy who nuked a thousand dollars needs to be slapped from here to Brazil in the face with a chainsaw.

you know, whether or not you believe it is of no consequence to me. so i stand nothing to gain by burning my money and posting a picture (thats not my picture in the first place). i read it, checked it out,tried it, and sure enough, i worked, and it makes sense to me... things seem to fit.
so do it, dont do it, whatever, all im saying is that maybe its not that crazy of a premise to think the government is tracking us by our money... in a country where bullshit like the patriot act will fly, i dont think its hard to believe something like this at all... but again, just me...
other than that, do what you see fit...

"I might be wrong but, there is no way in hell that a tracking device would be small enough to fit inside a twenty dollar bill and still have the ability to send a signal to anywhere, and there is no chance that I am wrong."
its already been done in europe... is it so hard to believe that they have already done it here? not at all...

so wait, your evidence for this is that paper you put in the microwave catches on fire? I might be wrong but, there is no way in hell that a tracking device would be small enough to fit inside a twenty dollar bill and still have the ability to send a signal to anywhere, and there is no chance that I am wrong.
Why dont you try looking at the twenty dollar bill with a magnifying glass instead of putting in the microwave, under a bright light you could see through the paper to find out if there was a tracking device.

it doesnt prove there is a tracking device... that could be anything. maybe the ghost of andrew jackson is trying to escape out of that eye... id say its more likely than not that that its an RFID tracker.... unless of course its something more sinister. they said they were gonna do it and sure enough it seems like its been done...
but dont take my word for it... im a moron.
