money talks

This is odd: U.S. Department of Defence claims Canadian coins with RFID transmitters in them have turned up in the pockets of various contractors.

I'm not clear who they think did it, or why, or how, or why they've chosen to make this public. But it's odd.

Maybe they aren't targeting U.S. Defence folks at all but are just tracking y'all. Or more specifically the life of a coin. How far does an individual coin go? how long before they stop being used as tradeable currency and find their way into sofa cushions or piggy banks?

I mean really, why would anyone spy on the U.S. Defence department? Even THEY don't know what they're doing so how could any outside agency hope to? The average Candian citizen, on the other hand, is an enigma. Even your own government is asking, "wait so we're in North America but we're not American citizens? That can't be right. We look similar."
