Great hack! Little stories like these are my favorite part of the programming community. More or less pointless (no way to make a startup out of this) but deeply funny.

My coworkers and I were talking about additional ways to mess with people with cloning RFID chips. I think my favorite is cloning your access badge to work onto another RFID and putting it under a bandaid on your palm. Then, you can convince everyone that the RFID readers are actually fingerprint readers too.
