Hacker News Reader

Would be amusing to program the RFID in someone's dog to open the front door though, necessitating picking up a German Shepard to hold it up to a reader. Better still make the dog a spare key and nobody would ever notice.

Cat flaps already do this...

Mhhh... I realise now that cats are the perfect NSA intrusion mecanism in fact. You can put some kitten of troy in front of the port of a hacker and your feline agent will couple and connect with the hacker laptop with a 100% of accuracy for many minutes each day. Is the perfect crime, if we think about it... they could call it, the PPP (Pretty Pink Panther) project.

20 million spent and the cat was released and inmediately killed by a taxi?. Monty-pythonesque. Reality is always better than fiction :-)

Time to create the Rule 36 of internet?: if exists, someone will try to spy it.

These people clearly did not have any experience with cats. What does a cat do when released into a strange place? It panics and then hides.

There was someone that put a collar with a wifi scanner on his cat and used it to map out where there were open networks in his area (well in the parts of the area that the cat went)....
