As Jeff Moss, founder of DEFCON and Black Hat, mentioned in his article http://www.internetevolution.com/author.asp?section_id=554&doc_id=139509&f_src=flffour , when they discovered the undercover Dateline NBC reporter, people don't "seem to have any idea who we are -- either as a conference or as a culture."]]>Aug 11th 2008 10:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/defcon-duo-how-to-shut-off-a-pacemaker-almost-get-free-rides-o/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/defcon-duo-how-to-shut-off-a-pacemaker-almost-get-free-rides-o/Aug 10th 2008 10:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/defcon-duo-how-to-shut-off-a-pacemaker-almost-get-free-rides-o/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/defcon-duo-how-to-shut-off-a-pacemaker-almost-get-free-rides-o/Aug 10th 2008 10:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/defcon-duo-how-to-shut-off-a-pacemaker-almost-get-free-rides-o/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/defcon-duo-how-to-shut-off-a-pacemaker-almost-get-free-rides-o/Aug 10th 2008 10:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/defcon-duo-how-to-shut-off-a-pacemaker-almost-get-free-rides-o/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/defcon-duo-how-to-shut-off-a-pacemaker-almost-get-free-rides-o/

Also must people don't know that patients with pacemakers have devices that will send medical data back to there doctor via telephone. Place you phone on the machine, wear wrist bracelets to detect electrical activity, place provided magnet over pacemaker, and it will 'chirp' your data back to the 800 service and your doctor. I hope all this is done with read-only privileges to the pacemaker... ]]>Aug 11th 2008 1:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/defcon-duo-how-to-shut-off-a-pacemaker-almost-get-free-rides-o/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/defcon-duo-how-to-shut-off-a-pacemaker-almost-get-free-rides-o/
One feedback isn't going to change things overnight, but with enough feedback, people start noticing.

1. grab a MSR decoder/encoder
2. swipe an existing paper charlie card, view 16 bit hex code in 24th, 25th, 26th & 27th digit positions (example: 00C8)
3. change said code to your desired amount (in cents) for example 00C8 = $2.00/200 cents ... 03E8 = $10.00/1,000 cents
4. encode card with new information

Stop freaking people out.]]>Aug 11th 2008 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/defcon-duo-how-to-shut-off-a-pacemaker-almost-get-free-rides-o/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/defcon-duo-how-to-shut-off-a-pacemaker-almost-get-free-rides-o/
The pacemaker doesn't have to be an 'active radiator'. What happens is that your reader sends out a high freq. (but low energy; low range) signal. This signal resonates within the internal circuit and supplies enough power to activate the processing unit inside as well as to activate the RF portion (to send the data back out, via FSK encoding).

To increase range I can
1) Use a very high energy signal (~20 dBm)
2) Use a very sensitive receiver for the return path.

Just because your compliant device works over a small range doesn't mean that folks wanting to circumvent will also use the same restricted/compliant devices.

All said and done, there are technical solutions to solve this, factoring in emergencies etc. The companies manufacturing these devices simply need better engineering resources to use it. Safety first.

Cheers
